Notts County owner Alan Hard has ‘very reluctantly’ put the club up for sale just hours after accidentally posting a tweet that inadvertently contained an image of an unexpected body part. His joystick.
The
businessman, who bought the League Two side two years ago, was forced to
apologise for the now deleted tweet, and has insisted that neither the
gaffe or the club’s current league position are the causeof this sudden
move to sell.
MySportDab report he has also since taken himself off the platform.
In
a statement quoted by the Independent, Hardy has revealed: “After
considerable soul-searching, I no longer feel I can continue as the
owner of Notts County Football Club.
“I would like to make it
clear from the outset that the club’s current league position is not a
factor in this decision, nor are any of the events which have unfolded
in the media this weekend.”
County currently sit rock bottom of
the Football League’s lowest division, nine points off safety, with
their most recent defeat a damaging one against fellow stragglers Yeovil
Town.
