After their side beat Bristol City for a first Championship win since 2 December, supporters await with trepidation the return of owner Fawaz al-Hasawi
Fawaz al-Hasawi is expected to return to Nottingham this week, with the whiff of sulphur from the flares of Saturday’s protest against him still hanging in the air on the banks of the Trent. Nottingham Forest fans want him out of the club he purchased four and a half years ago but the Kuwaiti, who has performed more three-point turns than a learner driver, does not appear willing to leave and his motives for remaining become less clear by the minute.
Not long after the shrieks of relief at Ben Osborn’s creative flair, which brought a first victory since 2 December as Bristol City were beaten 1-0 on Saturday, the utter confusion over the state of ownership of the twice European Cup winners returned as dispiriting as ever. Hasawi is determined, it seems, to press ahead with the appointment of his seventh permanent manager since June 2012, while John Jay Moores maintains a watching brief from America.
