CornwallRam Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Somebody has very recently pumped £8.5m into Forest. Annoyingly, that'll sort their embargo out. Expect an announcement on that very shortly. The interesting thing will be when we find out the source of the investment. It could well be that the Greek deal is sorted and the takeover is set to be announced. Or it could just be that Fawaz has pumped some cash in himself to sort the embargo out - either to make them a better proposition for a sale, or just trying to sort his own mismanagement out. Either way, it's not good new because Forest are now considerably less 'Mickey Mouse' - bbbboooooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Own Olympiakos too, Fawaz met them when he bought those **** players like Djebbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needles Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 What are the criteria for the usually laughable "fit and proper person test"? Get the impression that florist have pissed off a lot of people around the FA, so hopefully they'll still have some nightmares yet getting Demis Roussos signed off as owner. Also, a poll on their site has Pearson as a massive favourite as their choice for new manager. No-on else in the frame. So if we do get him, that would be nice.

When you look at the collection of suspects who have passed fit and proper it doesn't seem to be much of a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but if any club have got "dodgy as ****" written all over them it's forest. Maybe the FA will keep close tabs on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's be interesting to see if Fatwaz and Demis have any other business connection, or financial relationship, aside from his lending florist a pair of Algerians for supposedly no fee...
