The saviour.

[David]

Just stood down at Ilkeston Town

[Ben]

Tried to buy/rescue Bury after they had spiralled out of control but couldnt agree a fee with their owner at the time

[Brassy sharman]

Sorry, wrong buddy.

[JohnGaylesNuttingKit]

Potentially fantastic news if true

[Pele]

How wealthy is he?
Whats he made his moneys doing?
Both questions just out of curiosity

[Cliff Byrne’s Right Peg]

Can’t find much information on him which is a positive- initial feedback all seems to be positive from Ilkeston fans too.

Nottinghamshire based, any link with Hardy, SST?

[cassidystash]

Seems so.

No link with Hardy in terms of this deal.
The links are on companies house as both have been directors at Ilkeston.

Just read Ilkeston town statement. Looks like he is coming to save someone

[bartonscorpion]

Any news on this topic is good news, just hope that it will go through, but I really don’t believe anything that comes out of GP, after been fed lie after lie for seven years or more from the evil one.

Just awaiting the goal posts once again being moved, any good news does not happen at GP these days.

[MK Iron]

Might be a bit rash him leaving Ilkeston before he has the current owners signature on a piece of paper.

Seems to have invested in facilities at Ilkeston and their fans think he has done well looking at twitter comments.

[WonderGoals]

There’s no way he would have left there if he hadn’t all but sealed the deal for the club. According to some this could be done and announced before tomorrow’s game or the day after, it’s supposed to be near enough done.

Hilton was down at the club yesterday as well.

I’ve asked Martin Carruthers ex Iron and Ilkeston manager on Twitter whether Hilton was rich and would he get the fans onside and his answer was “Yes mate a personal friend who will get the club back where it belongs 💪🏼”

It must be happening. Burny has spoken!!

[WonderGoals]

Wait and see. He was down at the club yesterday tying the deal up. Ask SST.

[Deereyme66]

I’ll believe it when it’s signed sealed and delivered this time. Still, if it means I don’t have to read ‘Big Al or bust’ again, that’s a bonus.

Big Al as wished the us and the new bidder well.

[Deereyme66]

Pardon?

[Deereyme66]

Has he done his due dilligence yet?

[WonderGoals]

These are twitter posts from Alan Hardy regarding the take over…

Alan Hardy

Sadly, I am led to believe that an alternative bidder has been selected to move forward with the purchase of Scunthorpe Utd FC. I therefore wish the chosen party great success and send my best wishes to all the fans of this great club. I sincerely hope happy times soon return

Alan Hardy

Personally gutted; had a great team, great plan and great Manager all lined up. A massive thank you to all the Scunthorpe Utd supporters who welcomed my involvement. If nothing else, it brought this new interest to the table and saving this Club is the only thing that matters

It must be close !

‘If nothing else, it brought this new interest to the table and saving this Club is the only thing that matters’

Lol, saw that earlier. Why is he suggesting he was influential in getting Hilton to bid? Because Hilton wants to spare us from him? 🤣

[Northumbiron]

“Personally gutted; had a great team, great plan and great Manager all lined up.”

Yeah, right!
