Fawaz turned down an offer of 45 million from an American based company at the beginning of this season!

Where did this unconfirmed " off the cuff "information come from?

Well done Fawaz for turning down offers from companies based in a bankrupt economy! More leverage debt we do not need?

Apologies for my late reply but some of us have to work for a living. How come the first reaction is for someone to always ask who the source is? If you don't believe my original post then you ain't going to believe who the source is as I could of made that up as well. I've been deliberating for a while now as to wether I should post this or not. Most on here who know me realise I like my banter and a wind up but I've never been one for posting "rumours". Here is the limited info I'm prepared to tell you. This comes from paperwork I have seen with my own eyes compiled by the prospective buyers and sent to an agent who they wanted to use as an initial point of contact between the two parties and who organised a meeting in London at the beginning of this season. The company in question is a investment outfit from America. It basically states that the buyers offer of 45 million was rejected by Fawaz who wanted 65 million. The interesting paragraphs are the ones which state that no negotiations could progress because of a complete lack of trust in Fawaz and his associates who insisted that the city ground belonged to them, which it doesn't, and the academy belonged to them also, which it doesn't. Alrhough I've always usually tried to defend our owner, and it doesn't matter to me one jot wether you believe me or not, this will obviously be music to the ears of all the Fawaz haters on this site.

Good job he turned it down, they sound like they would be even more unorganised than our current set up. Fancy allowing info like this to be leaked?
Cone on ibm surely you can't knock someone asking where such an important bit of info came from? There is a chance you could have just made it up? 😊.

2tone. Info wasn't leaked by prospective buyer. Info was seen by me after reaching agent. Agent doesn't know I've read it so he's blameless too. Can't name agent as could cost him credibility, cash and future work in the business. Finally, I've got better things to do than make crap up. Believe it or not mate it don't matter to me!

Any buyer would understand the assets they are buying before bidding as the info is in the public domain.

£ 65m CASH OFFER would about pay the Fawaz debt plus the Doughty family clawback on their loans for promotion.

So what point are you making a good or bad offer turned down?

Fawaz wanted 65 million. Buyer offered 45 million obviously as an opening offer and a basis for negotiation. The point of my post was the collapse of any future deal because of a lack of honesty.

Hmmm Ibm. Deliberating for a while now whether to post this?
Did you by any chance catch a glimpse of this document conveniently left out for you to see 16 days prior to your original post? 😂.

Why would Fawaz lie about things that can easily be checked. IE ownership of the ground and academy. Again I say this post is total rubbish. Also if Forest do not own the academy, who does?

Dont understand what you mean Fred?
Jaj. Academy is somehow owned or tied to Doughty estate and not owned by Fawaz. Believe what you like I've no more to say on the subject.

Tyrekickers will always blame the seller if they do not get their way! A debt leverage bid will fail at the first hurdle in the current climate if there is no freehold asset as security.

All these investment hedge fund sharks will be chasing football clubs to buy in view of the TV cash being pumped in.

Fawaz is only going to cash his chips if he is offered a cash deal while ever he can get a return on his loan!
