Forest ‘a legacy worth defending’ says chairman
The owner of Nottingham Forest says he has a “complete and utter commitment” to securing the long term future of the club.
In an open letter to fans, Fawaz Al Hasawi said he was in the process of building a senior team at Forest – and has already appointed a new finance boss.
Al Hasawi said: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Samantha Gordon to the role of chief financial officer, who joins us following significant experience with Norwich City. I look forward to working with her and will keep you informed of our progress in developing the executive team.
“As you know, we are also in discussions over the appointment of our new manager. The club made the decision to part ways with Philippe Montanier last weekend, following a series of disappointing results. While I cannot comment on names, I can give every assurance that we will appoint the candidate with the experience and vision to maximise the squad’s talent and potential, and improve results.”
Al Hasawi also said he is actively looking for a new owner to take the club off his hands, but that he couldn’t go into details because of confidentiality agreements.
Forest play Bristol City this Saturday at the City Ground.
