Notts County owner Alan Hardy has revealed he has accepted an offer to sell the club.
The owner of the League Two side ‘very reluctantly’ put them up for sale after an inappropriate picture appeared on his social media.
His gaffe came when he tried to show the fickle side of supporters by posting two screenshots from the same supporter, one sending him Christmas wishes and the other declaring he had ruined the club.
But Hardy inadvertently included his phone̢۪s camera roll of recent pictures, and one contained an intimate image.
He apologised for the incident but insisted neither the gaffe nor County̢۪s league position had any influence on his decision.
Hardy posted an update on the club̢۪s website on Thursday.
â€Å“I am pleased to confirm I have accepted an offer to purchase Notts County Football Club from a very credible party, who is now undertaking due diligence,†he wrote.
â€Å“As expected, there has been a huge level of interest in the club and I am delighted that we are now at an advanced stage with people who I am confident have Notts County’s best interests at heart.
