Phoenix Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Is it not also true that Fawaz wants a salary of £1m and an annual bonus equal to the total paid to all the players? If that's true the Americans must have a collective screw loose to sign up to deal like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abu Derby Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 A little bird has told me that one of the reasons the takeover has been delayed, aside from the fact that the Americans want the pink seats ripping out to be replaced with green coloured ones, is that they want to rename the club "The Notting-ham Sherwood Foresters". Honestly, you couldn't make it up. What does everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I've heard the snag on the deal is the Americans insistence on linking the club to the San Diego Padres, by renaming the council tip 'The Baseball Ground'. They've yet to be persuaded it's not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 I took the plunge. They've resorted to talking about Twitter hard men and fisting the Hoffmeister Bear.

INT - NOTTS FOREST BOARDROOM - DAY AL FAWAZ is nervous. He anxiously polishes the large mahogany table that dominates the room, it's very dusty and obviously hasn't been used in a long time. There is a knock at the door. AL FAWAZ Enter please. The door opens and in comes EMAD, JOHN J MOORES and assorted lawyer types, one is carrying a long wooden box, approximately a meter long EMAD Hello boss. I've brought the money, er I mean the gentlemen from the airport. Did I do good boss? AL FAWAZ Very good Emad. You will receive 10 extra virgins once you reach the afterlife for your continued royalty. EMAD Thanks boss. Can I take one of the paintings before I go? Everybody in the room survey the walls, they're full of oil paintings of AL FAWAZ. One of him lifting the European Cup, another where he's walking over the River Trent without the bridge etc. AL FAWAZ Later Emad, later my friend. EMAD bows to his master and backs out the room, closing the door behind him. AL FAWAZ crosses the room and graciously shakes JOHN J MOORE'S hand. Rather enthusiastically. AL FAWAZ Greetings Mr Moore. I hope you and your money, er sorry. You & your friends enjoyed the flight over. MOORES Let's just cut the **** shall we Fawaz. Don't think I know what's going on around here. This club is a piece of ****, it looks like a piece of ****, it smells like a piece of ****, and it's bout as profitable as a piece of ****. I'm NOT goin to give you fifty million pounds for this dump. AL FAWAZ Mr Moores. You misunderstand. This club isn't like that at all, this club has prestige. My price is very reasonable. When the team I have assembled has won the elusive third start you will earn more money than you can possibly imagine. MOORES Bullshit Fawaz!!! I don't know a lot about soccer, but the people I've spoken to do. They've told this team you've put together is a shower of crap that'll be lucky to avoid relegation. Whatever that means. AL FAWAZ I'm sorry to disagree Mr Money, er ah Moores, Mr Moores. But your people aren't a knowledgeable as my team of dedicated football experts. MOORES And who are they? AL FAWAZ Well there's Emad.. EMAD bursts through the door. EMAD You want me boss? AL FAWAZ Not now Emad! Go drink some milk! EMAD leaves bowing as he does so. AL FAWAZ (cont.) There's my main man Kenny Burns. He know so much about good defenders. Will always speak the truth. MOORES Who else? AL FAWAZ Er, Ethel MOORES Who in the blue hell is Ethel AL FAWAZ She's the tea lady. She know so many quality players. Amazing knowledge. MOORES I'm sorry Fawaz. You're talking crap. The price is £20m and you know that's more than a fair price. Considering you way you've run this place further into the toilet you should be grateful you're even getting that. AL FAWAZ But Mr Moores please. MOORES Please nothin'! Now you either take that price or me & my friends are walking right outta that door, and you'll never see us again. What's it gonna be sport? AL FAWAZ Ok, ok. Deal. The two of them shake hands. MOORES Now. Bend over that table and assume the position! AL FAWAZ I'm sorry? MOORES Bend over that table and drop your britches. AL FAWAZ I don't understand Mr Moores MOORES Well in that box over there is a large piece of 2x4. And you're about to get shafted by it. Or you can kiss your money goodbye?
