Nottingham Forest sold to Al-Hasawi family

The Al-Hasawi family have completed their expected takeover of Championship side Nottingham Forest.
The family, from Kuwait, have confirmed that they have purchased the club from the estate of Nigel Doughty.
In a statement they said: "It is an honour and a privilege to assume control of this great club. We look forward towards a successful future.
"You can be assured of our best efforts in bringing the Reds back to the top of the table."

Doughty put the club up for sale in October 2011, although his sudden death four months later added complications to the sale.
The family's interest in the football club first emerged at the end of May, but although there was no comment from Forest at that time.
Businessman Fawaz Al-Hasawi had been chairman of Al-Quadisya Sports Club in his native country, but his decision to step down was a precursor to interest in investment within English football.

Doughty, a genuine supporter, helped rebuild the club financially although recovering past glories has proved difficult - with relegation to League One in 2005 a major blow.
Forest eventually returned to the Championship after a three-year absence but, after two consecutive unsuccessful play-off campaigns, they failed to recapture that form last term, finishing 19th.
The Al-Hasawi family intend to hold a press conference on Saturday, 14 July at the club's City Ground.

Or the broke, divorced aunt whose looks have waned and who only gets invited to a wedding about once a decade now because an old family member or friend feels sorry for them. If Cov were the bridesmaid it might be courted more often and even get a little investment on the side from time to time... Time for a makeover?
