Be careful what you wish for - if we dont sort the Stadium out we could be playing Notts County next season in the National League!
What a fucking mess for BOTH clubs!

For basically every other club eventually a white knight comes along, the owner gets fed up and goes away and they rebuild. That will eventually happen for Notts, probably not for us

It's interesting that people now want him out, not long ago he was their savour. Interacting with the fans, throwing loads of money in etc.

Spent a fair whack in the summer.

Just shows how fickle and results based it is that makes a "bad owner".

It wasn’t long ago we had some on here trying to claim that renting a stadium was a big plus for a football club haha

Looks like they might be heading for admin.

Are all of their debts to the owner?

Looks like they are 5 points from safety at the minute, do they take the administration and points deduction now and come back up next year or try and save up and start with one next season? I guess the timing of the actual administration depends on when the points are taken?

I don't think the league looks kindly on timing administration at a point where it seems immaterial, suggestion is that the points deduction is delayed to the next season. That said, not sure how it would work between the EFL and the national league.

So in theory they could still avoid relegation this year and start in League 2 with a deduction?

IF IF IF that stadium haemorrhages money, then yes it is a plus not to own it. By renting you would be insulated from having the fund the losses of the stadium; instead, you pay a single fee for use it.

Who deducts the points? If it’s our friends the EFL, if notts county get relegated they won’t be in the EFL will they? Different matter perhaps if it’s the FA,

I thought they changed the rules as some team made sure they were safe then went into admin. I think there is a cut off date whereby if it’s before the points are taken this season, and past it, it’s next season

Bombed out of the play-offs. Shit summer transfer window. Dick pic scandal. Potential administration.

Getting kicked out of the EFL doesn't even seem that bad when you look at how shite their season has been.

County fans should dig out there play off t-shirts again. Might inspire the players of days gone past

Very sad to see this happening to a historic club like Notts County. Hope they come out the other side.

I seem to have missed where their financial issues came from. Did they essentially overspend in the chase for promotion last season? Nevertheless, don’t want to see them go under.

I think their wage bill is pretty significant. They've brought in some pretty 'high profile' players for League Two, over the past two seasons at least.

The issue is that the owner's company who were bankrolling it is in administration.

Wonder how much Doyle is costing them! They did seem to go through a period of having a lot of players who were in the latter period of their careers which probably held heavy salaries. Hope they come out of it.

Don’t think the thing a few years back when they were basically conned into thinking they had loads of money and brought in Sven to manage them helped.

Mismanagement once again. I remember going to Meadow Lane back in the late 80's when we were both in Division 1, I think we lost 1-0. Just don't want to see it happen, as I keep saying the money spread in the game and often the mentality of the Millennial generation is driving all the riches to the top. I'm sure I heard of a major financial investment at Forest today, so salt in the wounds there too.

The 'millennial generation' are not the suits who designed the Premier League, Champions League etc and run the football federations and which support and enable the wealth concentration at the top.

The problem is, everything Alan Hardy owns is going to shit. His company Paragon Interiors has also gone into administration, having experienced their lack of money first hand (owed my friends company £10,000 before Christmas from the start of the year), they/he really has struggled financially. So really he's gotta choose between the two, sell one asset to keep the other afloat. Where Notts County are a financial sinking ship, at least he makes a semi-regular income off paragon

That's the thing, you put all that money there and people will throw money to try and get to it. Then when it all goes wrong, they have big debts they cant pay.

Makes you wonder how many Clubs are on the edge, if you rely on the owner to subsidise you, well what happens when the next major crash comes along.

Saw an interesting video on You Tube detailing the highest earner in every League Two club this season. Not surprising but it claimed Notts County's Vaughan was at the top on £5k per week. That's huge wages for a League Two side to be offering. No wonder they're in the shit.

It just focused on League Two clubs so I was just intrigued. I'm sure there would be a League One 'highest earners' video though. Sunderland will easily come out on top in that one though. I actually think Aiden McGeady's wages pip Cattermole's. Reportedly McGeady is on £31K and Cattermole is on £25K.

EDIT: Scrap that Cattermole is on 40K
