Fawaz Al Hasawi has just tweeted his official announcement at taking over Nottingham Forest https://twitter.com/Fawaz_alhasawi Interesting comment he has made about why it took too long - said they had other options and were waiting for solicitors to advise on best deal - wonder what his other options were? It couldn't be could it
He tweeted on the 6th July that he had no interest in "soccer" https://twitter.com/#!/search/Fawaz Al Khalifa leeds
I questioned this and apparently there are two in the same family with the same name, we shall see but yes, he has said he has no interest so I guess it means he will be the new owner, seems to be the way to do it
But Bates owns the dead horse - maybe he's asking Berylson for some advice on how to run a club properly
He's asking Berylson how the **** he gets away with putting no money into his club and the docile fans say **** all about it, Bates can't believe the grief he's getting, even though his club always finish above Berylsons.
True - such a big club like ours should not be in the same league as a tin-pot outfit for 7 seasons in a row - especially with our bumper 11k gates
Thank your lucky stars you never had Ridsdale as chairman, little outfits like yourselves would never come back
You seem to have a problem following what has been quoted by LUST which is surprising as you are usually a pretty long way up their ass. It was LUST who have confirmed that this is the guy See the following thread: http://www.not606.com/showthread.php/154592-Takeover-snippets
How the **** did one of you not shoot that ****? Seth Johnson's contract negotiations with Leeds were told on Talksport by his agent. Johnson was earning £5,000 a week at Derby and his agent told him they should go for £15,000 but not settle for less than £10,000 a week. Ridsdale's opening offer surprised them both. "Right, I'm sorry but I can only offer you £30,000 a week," Shocked silence followed "Oh, all right then," said Ridsdale, "£37,000" Any truth to this talksport snippet?
Ridsdale wrote about his naivety in that negotiation in his book. Anyone who has it can look up if those amounts are accurate.
