For all you doubters I have some info here from a very good source who has a brilliant track record for inside gossip and he also works in Kuwait part of the year - rest of year London based.
He says - the sale of the club is going well with meetings still taking place. The bid has been on the table for weeks but has been held up by various clauses in the sale of the contract, regarding
-the future roles of the current board members
- naming rights of the stadium
- making sure the financial structure of the academy is kept separate.
All these have now been cleared up and the incoming owners are free to bring in their own people which was the deal breaker.
There is more than one investor but the principal kuwaiti loves football and has been waiting for the right club to become available, and basically Forest's history was the key factor. Forest also fit the bill because they want to build their own legacy at NFFC and want to build a new stadium. They also want to support the academy to become the best in the world.
They have already mentioned players and transfers they want to look at and players like Jenas and Bellamy have been mentioned. They also want to compete in the free transfer market and searching for and buying excellent young players.
They want to bring in their own manager and Warnock and McCarthy are on that list, however Gus Poyet is the top target.
Controlled investment and long term focus are the buzz words but they also want premier league football within the next 2 seasons.
I cannot quite believe it myself as this just does nt happen at Forest, but this source is very reliable (cannot reveal due to individuals position), it is being supported by other media and players agents - the momentum is gathering so expect news very soon. I still have nt renewed my season ticket as I am waiting on this announcement - nice of Forest to extend the deadline for us !
