Reported in the Telegraph that the Notts Forest credit card has been declined on check-out at the teams hotel in Brighton recently.

Also mentions that Sam Rush's old company, Wassermann issued a winding up order last month for unpaid agents fees from Summer, although the money was wired from Kuwait. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

[size=3]Fawaz Al-Hasawi, the majority shareholder, has replaced his cousin Omar as chairman following a number of finance-related mistakes that have increased scrutiny on the [url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/championship/]Championship club.

Forest’s players were paid a day late last month because of a glitch in the bacs system, while it has emerged that agents and suppliers have also been paid late or are still waiting for bills to be settled.

The respected Wasserman Media Group even issued a winding-up order last month for unpaid fees, for work carried out in the summer, though the payments were eventually wired over from Kuwait.

But the problems reached a head on Friday when the club’s credit card was rejected at the team’s hotel in Brighton.

Though there is no suggestion that the Al-Hasawis have money problems, the developments are an embarrassment to the club. Omar has now stepped down for “personal reasons” with Fawaz determined to take a more hands-on role at the City Ground, in an effort to avoid any more potentially costly mistakes.[/size]

Bit of trouble in Kuwait......could hinder the flow of Dinars going forward..............

Security forces blocked hundreds of protesters from staging a rally outside the parliament building as Kuwait's emir denounced anti-government factions for threatening to “tear apart” the nation.

The hardline stance underscored the potential for Kuwait's tensions to escalate into more serious clashes and further polarise the Gulf state between backers of the ruling establishment and groups claiming it overstepped its powers.

In a speech to inaugurate the new parliament – almost completely pro-government after the opposition boycott – Kuwait's emir sharply criticised opposition groups for their aggressive election boycott campaign in which they labelled voters as traitors. "Saying that fellow citizens have committed treason only because they have a different opinion is not acceptable," said the emir, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah. "We will not tolerate attempts from anyone to tear apart the unity of the nation."

On Saturday, more than 1,000 protesters held an overnight occupation of streets in a Kuwait City commercial district.

One of the main protest leaders, Mussallam al-Barrack, urged supporters not back down until the emir disbands the "parliament of puppets" and sets new elections.
