From David Ornstein's Athletic article:
Al Hasawi eyeing up England’s crisis clubs
News also reaches The Athletic that Fawaz Al-Hasawi, previously the owner of Nottingham Forest, may be looking to find a route back into football.
This will necessarily be an appealing prospect for any potential clubs bearing in mind Al-Hasawi’s time at the City Ground was accompanied by a series of winding-up orders, wages and debts repeatedly being paid late, a transfer embargo for breaching financial fair-play regulations, a near-relegation to League One and all sorts of eccentric decision-making.
According to one ally of Al-Hasawi, the Kuwaiti millionaire briefly had an interest in Bolton Wanderers before deciding they were too far north of his property in London.
Coventry City is now said to be an option, which leaves the impression Al-Hasawi may be prioritising what could be described as English football’s crisis clubs (one of his aides was photographed being shown round Charlton last year).
Al-Hasawi left Forest in 2017 after five years in which the team’s league position grew worse every season, finishing eighth, 11th, 14th, 16th and 21st.
