"Hopefully we will be talking to you in 10 days time with more exciting news." Arthur added: "There is good interest in the club, not from just one party."Use accessible player and disable flyout menus Takeover 'exciting', says Reds sponsor The Reds chief executive continued: "We do not know who they are and where they come from. "We are hopeful the new owners will be in for the start the season, but we can't say that for certain. "The process is not being handled by anyone at Nottingham Forest and all that John Pelling [finance director], Frank Clark [chairman] and myself do is answer questions that are put to us. "It is a very difficult situation for everyone working at Nottingham Forest, it is a very difficult situation for all the fans. We are in it together. "There is no timescale at the moment. We have told them the dates of when players report back and when they season starts. "If the owners are to have an impact on next season they need to be in Nottingham the sooner the better." Forest have been for sale since October 2011 when Nigel Doughty resigned as chairman but his death in February has made the sale more complicated. The club's sale is being handled by merchant bank Seymour Pierce.
【传闻】科威特富豪老板有意收购森林或者利兹其中一队!! The manager of Fawaz al-Hasawi's office has confirmed to Sport360° that the Kuwaiti businessman is closing in on the takeover of an unnamed English Championship club. Fevered speculation this morning had initially suggested al-Hasawi, chairman of the Qadsia club, was close to finalising a deal to buy out Ken Bates at Leeds United. However, conflicting reports then emerged that the Kuwaiti was in actual fact keen on taking over another 'fallen giant' steeped in rich history in the shape of Nottingham Forest. Sattam al-Sahli, a respected football journalist in Kuwait, who writes forEurosportArabia among other publications, said that he is sure that al-Hasawi is buying Forest and notLeeds. It's a view supported by influential blogger in the region Mishari Buyabis, who told his 140,000 twitter followers that he was sure it wasn't Leeds – while also suggesting Forest was the most likely club. Indeed, the fact that the deal appears to be for total ownership also indicates it's more likely to be Forest as Leeds supremo Bates is understood to more receptive to investment rather than a complete sale of the club he took over in January 2005. However, Jamal Mubarak, a close confidant of al-Hasawi, has added to the mystery by refusing to divulge the name of the club when contacted by Sport360°. While confirming that there is an interest in a Championship club he insists the name of which won't be revealed for another fortnight. "The identity of the club is still a secret and will be for another two weeks," he said. "It is definitely in the English second tier [Championship]." Al-Hasawi is a member of a prominent business family in Kuwait, who has made his fortune from companies in refrigeration and electro-mechanical contracting. He hit the headlines on Tuesday when he revealed that a deal “for a second tier English club” was indeed imminent — a club that “has a big history in football”. However, he did also say that he won't reveal the name of the club until the end of June. Several Kuwaiti papers this morning reported that al-Hasawi had submitted his resignation from his position as chairman of Qadsia, leading to intense speculation that a takeover of an English club was nearing conclusion. Both Leeds and Forest fans will be optimistic al-Hasawi will choose their respective clubs as they seek the investment they hope will propel them back to the heady days of yesteryear. Leeds United, the last winners of the English First Division before the inception of the Premier League in 1992, have fallen on hard times since experiencing crippling financial problems in their foolhardy pursuit of Champions League glory in 2001. Having spent three years in League One, the Elland Road club are now firmly established in the Championship, and such an investment could help propel the club back to where its fans believe it belongs. Forest, meanwhile, are in a similar position to Leeds having lost their top-flight status in 1999 and also having faced the ignominy of slipping down to the third tier of English football. The tragic death earlier this year of owner and lifelong fan Nigel Doughty, who is said to have poured in over £40million of his own fortune in his 13 years in charge, had left the club facing an uncertain future.

【求翻译】Can Benik Afobe Crack the First Team Next Season? Arsenal forward Benik Afobe is quite grounded for being just 19-years-old. Asked who in his life keeps him from getting too big for his britches, Afobe cited his parents and a practice of reading the Bible. If you're looking for another cautionary tale of too much, too soon in world football, move along. The English-born striker of Congolese descent would have every reason to be teetering on the brink of overconfidence. Afobe has that preternatural predatory instinct in front of goal shared by the greatest forwards to play the game. His 11 goals in just 23 matches at the England U-17 level are testament enough to that. Obviously, he's still a long ways away from being considered among the best in the game, but few can rival his incredible talent. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger certainly considers him one of the brightest prospects within the Gunners youth setup, having played him during the Emirates Cup last year—the competition where we've seen the likes of Jack Wilshere emerge as contenders to nab a first-team spot. Afobe certainly has the quality to play a part with the senior team next season. His youth belies an uncanny sense of calm that, combined with a wonderful instinct, makes him a terrific option in attack—something that the Gunners tended to struggle with in 2011-12 outside of a certain Dutch No. 10. We've seen Wenger dip into the youth ranks during the heat of a Premier League season before—the injury-ravaged 2009-10 campaign saw the likes of Jay Emmanuel-Thomas earn playing time thanks to attrition—and in the just-finished season, we often saw attacking types such as Oguzhan Ozyakup included within the list of substitutes.Warren Little/Getty Images After a nasty groin injury forced Afobe into a lengthy rehabilitation to start the season, the striker spent the last part of the season on loan to Championship side Reading. Playing time was at a premium during that spell—Afobe made just three appearances for Reading in their successful battle for promotion to the Premier League—but the fact that he still earned a call-up to the England U-19 squad ahead of a crucial round of European Championship qualifiers speaks to the high regard in which he is held. Afobe's talent is undeniable, and with Arsenal poised to begin clearing out the ranks ahead of a likely title push in 2012-13, an opening for him just might emerge as the dead weight disappears all around. Marouane Chamakh and Park Chu-Young, Robin van Persie's most immediate challengers for the forward position last season, certainly didn't make incontrovertible claims for first-team spots. Both may even leave the club this summer. The arrival of German international Lukas Podolski has certainly bolstered the attacking ranks, but Afobe should be confident that if he enjoys a successful preseason, he could force Wenger to choose him.
