Takeover imminent at Forest

A takeover at Nottingham Forest is imminent with more than one party interested.   However, no one at the clubs know who the prospective owners are or where they come from with the deal being handled by merchant bank Seymour Pierce.   With the club wishing to rekindle its promotion ambitions, it is hoped that they will be in place by the beginning of the season.

The club has been for sale since October 2011 when Nigel Doughty resigned as chairman but his premature death in February has made the sale more complicated.
