FOREST chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi last night issued a statement insisting that the club will work to add new faces on loan – and that he has a positive relationship with Alex McLeish.

"Alex and I talk every day. We have a great working relationship and it troubles me greatly that people think otherwise," said the owner. "I have been involved in football for 15 years and have never interfered when it comes to the players a manager wants to sign.

"We have signed 18 players this season and all of them were chosen by Alex McLeish or Sean O'Driscoll. All I want is to see Forest back in the Premier League and, if that means I have to sign another 18 players that Alex wants, I will do it.

"Alex and I have spoken at length and he has outlined the kind of players he would like to bring on loan. I have heard it suggested that my family do not have the money to fund what we are trying to achieve at Forest or that we don't have any idea what we are doing. That upsets me because all I want is to make this club successful."

    “Well have refrained from coming on here to take the P**s for the past couple of days as this whole Boyd thing is more tragic than funny and the majority of Florest fans have acknowledged this but now the gullible ones are falling once again for the Al-hahahahasawis charm offensive once again!

    What planet are you lot on???

    Al-hahahahahasawi writes... "I have been involved in football for 15 years and have never interfered when it comes to the players a manager wants to sign.....We have signed 18 players this season and all of them were chosen by Alex McLeish or Sean O'Driscoll. Blah blah blah..."

    Oh really???

    So AM wanted the goalie from Kuwait even though he's only ever seen him on DVD and had already been lined up since the summer?
    So SOD had specifically asked for all those Kuwait players to come over on trial in the summer and wanted the player (can't remember his name but wasn't even on SODs published wish list) that was 'news to me' when told that Al-hahahahasawi had tweeted that the signing had been completed?

    Now Al-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahsawi says that...

    'All I want is to see Forest back in the Premier League and, if that means I have to sign another 18 players that Alex wants, I will do it.'

    Righto, so AM asked for 4-5 signings during the window and was told he could only have 3 before eventually only getting one!!!!!!
    Now the transfer window is safely shut and no chance of Al-hahahahasawi having to put his money where his mouth is AM's told he can have 18??????

    Is it really soooooo hard for you to see just what your new owner thinks of you when he can come out with drivel like this knowing you mugs will fall for it time and time again?
    Wake up before it's too late!”

    “Fellow Reds,

    I'm with Fawaz. Forest til we die. Does anyone else want to jump on the band wagon of sticking up for the person who has saved this club from certain administration? If people talk tripe about your family you take it personal and stick up for them no matter what, even if you don't fully agree with them. It's the same situation here. You certainly don't air your dirty linen in public for others to take note.

    The reason why our club is being slung through the mud is because its people like PETERBOROUGH chairman Darragh MacAnthony and Barry Fry talking tripe about our beloved Forest. Who do they think they are? Also the media are full of dirty tricks so they will do anything, no matter what the consequences, just to get the stories out. If people are embarrassed about the goings on over the last few months just think how embarrassed you would have felt if Forest went into administration. We are Forest fans because there is a club called Forest. If there is no Forest then there is no Forest Fan!

    It makes me laugh that people think that it's right for the owner to justify decisions to them. At the end of the day he's been very personable with us so far with his constant communication so why are people expecting more than this? At the end of the day he has justified and explained enough and we should get off his back and focus our attention on supporting the players. He doesn't have to explain anything to us and we should be happy with the communication we have received so far.

    Let's hope for 3 points today because this would just put to bed a bad week and hopefully we can move forward with a smile on our faces and a sense of unity!!

    COYR, KTF and FTID!!!”

    “Mr Fawaz, it might be, Prehaps it´s the way you bring things over to the people, the fans that pay to watch our great football team play average second div football ? we the fans just might think that somebody is taking the p!$$ out of us, that we forget the promises that were made to us , new players, wingers, defenders, top goalkeepers........ that we would quickly forget how our Hero FC was treated, but the thing is we don´t forget because we are NFFC”

    “Maybe if we had re-signed Dextor and Magik on Thursday afternoon and signed McLaghlan, Henderson, Ward, and Rayes in the evening people may have looked at this January differently.”

    “when i first read this on the official site i sort of brought into what he was saying, im sat on the fence a little at the moment, i want to belive in this statement so much then everything would all be plain sailing at our club, offers was put in for players but we never got them, this happens all over the country and every club on deadline day so i can understand and except that, personally not botherd that we didnt get boyd, i would of welcomed him if he came and hoped he preformed for us but cant see him effecting results that much,
    anyway we dint get him he failed a medical so we are told so end of that now its old news, what worries me is why wasnt these deals we lost out on deadline day sorted before instead of trying to rush things and losing out ?
    we was also promissed that we would have some very good news to look forward to in january well what was that then,
    i wonder who we go in for when the loan market opens ? and its time for the team to try and get some results now, try and win more then 2 games on the trot, time alex and peter grant earned there money, will be interesting to see what sort of body langauge the players and manager give of today ? im sure if come may we have managed to do this biss on the park (pitch) im sure all will be forgotn and forgiven”
