Statement from Forest .... The board of NFFC confirm that they are unable to respond to media speculation regarding the club's future ownership. The club sale process is being driven by the estate of Nigel Doughty and by Seymour Pierce as previously announced. http://www.nottinghamforest.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10308~2793677,00.html
Course he can. You might be confusing the part of his interview where he said he was interested in QPR, but they tried to rip him off by offering a non-controlling stake, so he left. He's off to Forest and wants Warnock; that's the long and short of it.
A publicity stunt to what end? He's quit Qadsia SC, convinced reputable media sources in Kuwait that he's buying a club, and he's flying to England... just so people will talk about him a bit?! It's possible, but sounds far-fetched. As for no-one in Nottingham knowing about it, NFFC haven't denied anything, have they? And no journalists or fans anywhere knew about this bloke before the rumours surfaced at the Kuwaiti end on Twitter. The TV interview was where the news was broken. So of course it came out of the blue without Forest people knowing about it.
I've never heard of anyone from the middle east who was involved in business, conducting themselves in the manner some of the names mentioned as possibly interested in Leeds appear to have carried out. I would suggest there is something behind the way in which certain people have spread names around Twitter and via other media and it may have nothing to do with the purchase of any football club.
Kuwait Blogs ‏@KuwBlogs فواز الحساوي Linked to Leeds United: Rumors are every where, Fawaz Al-Hasawi is linked to seal a deal ... http://bit.ly/KM57Mc @Q8Blend Just been posted !!
Brayton, Watford or Nottingham Forest all those names are guessed now to be the next Kuwaiti owner club. My money is on Brayton
Cozer from LUST has confirmed there in talks for a full blown take over as apposed to just investment. Problem is, Leeds united is owned by something like 17 different company’s most being offshore, so its taking a while to plough through the books
Another one off the list .... Andrew Haigh ‏@AndrewHaigh Just had it confirmed Chicago-based billionaire Kenneth Griffin and his company Citadel LLC are NOT the American group in talks with
Suspect now it might be the owner of the Cubs, he's the only owner of a major sports tea in Chicago not to have ruled himself out.
He's a bit of a twat but he's still a Leeds fan and as far as I'm aware he doesn't lie. Was the first guy with the Howson to Norwich news.
Simon no fan gets on a players back like he did. Plus he only ever comes out with these "facts" once he has heard it from a few more reliable sources. The Howson one was Duncan Castles then haigh jumped on it.
yeah but I always hear about it before him haha thats why he does my head in cos im better at his job than he is but he gets paid loads to do it
