IB became available, so was a good excuse to get rid of Ardley. As we know some worshipped the ground Ardley walked on, so would be hard to get rid of, plus like it or not, he stayed loyal through the mess we were in, so the Owners weren't going to pull the trigger as soon as they walked in.
IB was the man they wanted but was tied down to another club, then became free. Barnsley were sniffing around too, so Notts jumped.
