Nottingham Forest owner Fawaz Al Hasawi has revealed he is set to seal the long-awaited sale of the club, via Twitter.
The 48-year-old Kuwaiti took over the Championship outfit back in 2012, but yesterday tweeted fans goodbye and good luck ahead of an imminent £50m take over from a United States consortium, led by millionaire John Jay Moores.
In a series of tweets, Al Hasawi said, “I would like to wish all the supporters, the staff and the players all the best.
