As stated before Fawaz is leaving at the end of the season, think about it, Manager on three month contract, Chief Exec no rush maybe next year, it all leaves it up in the open for a new owner to bring in his own team.

If Fawaz is selling then it has to be someone in the same league as him financially. I can't see him selling at a knock down price. I would assume he will want most of his money back. Therefore we are likely to end up with a well set up rich owner again.What is wrong with that ?

He's on an 18 moth contract with a clause in there for a review in the summer.its only a short window to review as well so if your claims (very much doubt them) are true he must have someone lined up to buy and the club will have to be sold very quick for the new owner to say weather he wants him or not.
But then again if someone is buying would they be bothered about paying dougie off I.e sacking him as he has only bought a couple of people in!

@Dunlop47: I've asked this before but nobody seemed to know: does the money FAH is putting into Forest take the form of loans which add to operational debt or is he bankrolling the club? If the latter were the case, then considering the fact that the club is hamstrung by his overspending (which has yielded no success, I might add) in the form of FFP sanctions, any prospective buyer would basically need to pay a high price for FAH's mistakes - one not reflected in the true value of the club and which, to add insult to injury, would limit future success. Would so many people be in love with the guy in that scenario, I wonder?

Just a thought but I don't think owners wait until season ends before selling a business.

If Fawaz was considering selling I don't think he'd be investing as much time at the ground as he does. How many billionaire owners come to the u18's games??
Surely he'd be looking after his profitable businesses and engineering a buyer for us in the shadows.

The money Fawaz has put into the club are short term loans and not equity. The loans can be called in at any time but as the club is insolvent to the tune of £8m it has now way of repaying the debt other than by selling players. In the corporate world it is unusual for a company to be trading whilst insolvent but then again this is football.
