If Nigel leaves who will take over?

"I don't see Roman Abramovich leaving Chelsea to come and take over at the City Ground!".... No, neither do we. Nor do we know who would take over should Nigel leave but if you don't ask you don't get. There are people out there willing to invest in football clubs - take Wolves for example. Would there be ZERO interest in Nottingham Forest should it be put up for sale? I find it hard to believe - let's find out!

This is an appeal to any potential investors. If you are interested in taking over a magnificent club with a magnificent history, please register your interest! Should you bring back even a degree of success to the City Ground you will receive the adulation you will surely deserve.

If not Nige then who? An in depth analysis

Recently, in sports news articles all over the country, one uttering of an eight letter word has sent fans of many a football club into a frenzy. Dreams, dulled after season-upon-season of disappointment, have been rekindled…..TAKEOVER!!

The Premiership phenomenon has seen millionaires and indeed, billionaires flock to our shores hoping to join the party. The clubs and now even the names are very familiar to football fans countrywide.

Roman Abramovich at Chelsea
Eggert Magnusson at West Ham United
The Glazer family at Man Utd
Tom Hicks and George Gillett at Liverpool
Randy Lerner at Aston Villa

Other clubs are also targets in one form or another including -
Arsenal - Stan Kroenke
Man City - Ray Ranson / Thai prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra

Those who baulk at the £200m price tag for a premier league club are now turning their attentions towards clubs with premiership potential. Requirements would include a decent stadium/facilities and a strong fan base. Clubs in this category include;

Southampton with interest from Paul Allen
Coventry City with interest from Philip Harris and Sean McDevitt
Leicester City purchased by Milan Mandaric
Sunderland purchased by Drumaville Consortium, led by figurehead Niall Quinn
Millwall with interest from John G Berylson
Wolves - Steve Morgan
Blackpool - Valeri Belokon
Burnley - Brendan Flood

Add to those clubs Ipswich Town and Norwich City where rumours are rife that bids are imminent and it seems that the Football Club industry is at present a sellers market.

Why then does ND claim that he does not have potential purchasers 'knocking at his door'?

If I want to sell my house I employ an estate agent to advertise it in the right places. Simple!

The fans of NFFC deserve to be treated with respect and need to feel valued.
The fans of NFFC deserve to see a For Sale board erected at the City Ground and for a suitable purchaser to be found. Someone who will regain the trust of the fans and provide a framework in which the club will move forward.
