Fawaz - No backing and imitating Manchester City

Fawaz, there has been an influx of Middle Eastern investment into European football. How do you see this developing?
Fawaz Al Hasawi: Of course, Manchester City are a very good team. They are well supported by the government of the UAE, who stand heavily behind them and are proud of this. They compete in the strongest league in the world.
We are trying to imitate it at a lower level. We are just individual supporters.
We have spoken to the government of Kuwait about developing the situation. We were trying to give them new ideas to study.
This is a positive step. We look to support the club through the government or private sector.
Nottingham Forest are a big brand internationally. You talk to people, and they are aware of it.
Was this a reason behind buying them?
FAH: Forest is one of the most well-known clubs in the world. It has achieved great things, two European Cups. It enjoys a great number of fans everywhere. In Kuwait, Forest is almost a Kuwaiti club. People wish Forest to be honoured to reach the Premier League. We wish to take the club to its natural place. It is one of the oldest clubs. It encouraged us to take step in and to invest.

Fawaz is working with one arm tied behind his back because we are in the Championship. Once we get into the premier league he will find it a lot easier to get outside investment.

But whether or not he's prepared to wait that long is another matter.

Very true.
However I do like the fact he is saying we have a 4-5 year plan. It means that IF we don't go up this season then Fawaz can point to the ongoing plan.

Fawaz has frequently said he will keep trying, if not this year then the next, not sure why people think he will quit ?
