Quoted from HackneyHaddock
It's a terrible situation for their fans, but I don't have that much sympathy for them.  They've effectively been financially doping and have spent a lot of money trying to go up, while other clubs have cut their cloth accordingly.

The fans sold out to investors ages ago and County have gone the route of washed up ex-Premier League players and Celebrity Managers.

If they escape their current predicament, all that will happen is Alan Hardy will use smoke and mirrors to wash the money round in some other way, and next season they'll carry on the big spending and try to take one of the promotion slots we'll be hopefully fighting for.

On that basis, I'd much rather someone like Yeovil or Morecambe stayed in the league as they pose less of a threat, and hope we can have a Grand Day Out at Meadow Lane at the end of the season to see them off to the Conference.


If there is a chance that they will be relegated that day it will be all ticket and could be a sell-out. Oldest club in the League etc alot of neutrals will turn up.

After spending 6 years  down in the conference I will not get any joy from any league club going down there.

We as Town fans have been crying out for new investors in our Club and I’m sure would have welcomed someone like this guy with open arms. Just goes to show it doesn’t always work out as expected. John Fenty has not always got it right and whilst new investment is required, i do believe him when he says he has the clubs best interests at heart. I think the model of living within our means is the best course of action for the long term future of our fantastic club. UTM


36 ticks and 1 Cross. Says it all about this post and I have to agree 100%. Best post I've seen in a long time.

2 massive games today.Yeovil v Morecambe and county v vale. Just realised with a beam of satisfaction that I hadn't looked at the bottom of the table in ages.what a lovely feeling not to be worried about what's going on down there. County looked doomed to me 5 points adrift and by far the worst goal difference

Quoted from Helgy
He moaned about signing 38 players when it was him who approved them all, why approve all the signings adding to the debt?
So if Notts go under all the local businesses suffer getting literally pence in the pound while the players get priority.


You mean hooters could go t1ts up?

I thought the t1ts were always up in Hooters?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I think you are being more than generous here. John Fenty has got very little right in 18 years. If all we aspire to is just existing then what is the point? If you are the leading light at a pro club, one with a great history and some potential then you ought to be doing more with it than spending all the time in division 4 and 5, and even then just "existing".

It is not even his money that is allowing us to "live within our means." He has not put significant investment into the club for years, unless someone can tell me differently. If he has, he has not used it very wisely.

There has to be some new investment or we are very unlikely to progress on or off the field. We can all quote examples of investment that fails, but there are countless examples where investment has paid off.

If Fenty does want to sell he should give this Hardy idiot a ring.
He’s got 2 offers in about a week.

One has got £900 million he could afford to pay our leader his benign loans and invest in the team.
