Old Spalding Ram Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Nottingham Evening Post update 10/5/2016 In the meantime, Al Hasawi is understood to be close to agreeing a deal that would see significant investment in Forest from Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis. It is believed that, while Marinakis would take on a majority stake in the club, Al Hasawi would stay on as Forest chairman and figurehead of the club. That deal is edging closer to being finalised, with one of the remaining hurdles understood to be Football League approval for the deal, which could involve sponsorship from the Greek shipping magnate – and possibly even a rebranding of the City Ground. Is this the same Evangelos Marinakis who in 2015 was accused of being involved in a criminal organization, of incitement to extortion, of having incited an explosion endangering human life and of the instigation of bribery and corruption aimed at the successful manipulation of football matches offered in betting markets. Marinakis denies all four charges. It is alleged that Marinakis and EPO officials Sarris and Theodoros Kouridis were responsible for directing a criminal organisation since 2011 with the aim of "absolute control of Greek football's fate by the methods of blackmailing and fraud". .............and Steve Evans is the bookies favourite to take over at the City Ground!

Proper - can he actually spell 'propper' and can he lean on the bar while swigging a European Cup full of Ouzo Doddle - another typo, which should read 'waddle' 3/3 - welcome aboard. Leave the bag full of cash in the usual place, friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I think its actually a good thing they are lookin to bring in outside investment, maybe they can buy a payroll/payment system that actually works, isnt missing dates, and doesnt include kuwati public hoidays.

RadioactiveWaste Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Im just looking forward to the following series of events: League lift embargo because of fawaz promises. Greek investment floods in. It later becomes apparent that FFP will not be met and promises not kept. Embargo reintroduced. Greek investment floods out. Kenny Burns writes column insisting that he's proud of how the club handles things in difficult times. An unpaid creditor presents a winding up petition. Unfortunately, forests ace accounting team drop the ball and the last minute payment isn't made. Stranger things have happened than that sequence coming to pass.

Okay so let's break this down. 1) investment from a bloke who is (allegedly) so corrupt that he won't even try to be a director. 2) I thought the Hasawi's had more money than Scrooge McDuck. Why do they need more investment? I thought they needed help managing. So the fact that Fawaz stays as director doesn't really mean anything changes. Investment is fairly pointless if you can't spend the invested money due to FFP, and you haven't worked out any decent revenue streams because you don't know what you're doing. 3) Sponsorship from an investor. Haven't they worked out yet that that isn't a way around ffp. 4) Rebranding of the city ground. Isn't that up to the people who own it? And wouldn't any revenue from selling naming rights go to the people who own it? You'd have thought they'd have worked that one out by now too. its all a bit stupid really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the gumps keep their magnificent owner who isn't a walking disaster area, but presumably lose his (questionable) millions? Now the money will primarily be coming from an alleged crook? Great!
