It is yet to be confirmed by the club, though this will come as a huge relief to their fans, who were left angry two days ago when an expected takeover deal failed, leaving staff employees outraged. With that, he said it’s ‘highly unlikely’ they will be paid on Friday.’
Natalie Jackson, BBC East Midlands Today sports editor said: “The sale means that the future of the National League side will be saved, just days away from potentially folding.
“It means they will not start the season in the National League 12 points down, and will have owners who Hardy says are “very credible”.
“There has been endless uncertainty since Hardy put the club up for sale, with Notts being relegated and deals seemingly stalling at various stages.
“He had great ambitions for the club. He is a local businessman who had the best intentions and was warmly welcomed when he first arrived. Notts almost won promotion from League Two in his first full season as owner.
“But last season he sacked two managers and things could not have gone any worse on and off the field. Notts fans have had a truly terrible 12 months and will hope this is the start of a new era – albeit outside the Football League for the first time in their history.”
