Too late to find the thread where I was picked out as one of about 3 who doubted Marinakis.
If what we were told then is true - yes, get rid (but too late for that now!).
However - he says its all rubbish , spouted by a jealous rival.
Since nothing has been proved, I'm happy to endorse the takeover.
Will have one ear cocked for damning stuff, but his opening address bodes well.

Just been reading this Arsenal blog below on Alisher Usmanov takeover bid, which is kinda relevant to the present situation at Forest, it's relevant because for those not aware Usmanov form makes EM look a saint.
From the article...
…….The moral quandaries are, however, going to be part and parcel of football in the future. As fans – and I mean fans everywhere, not just Arsenal – we can be fluid about what is and isn’t acceptable as long as it brings us success.
When you’re dealing with billionaires and billions of pounds, there are always going to be issues. Who has that kind of money? How did they make it? Where does the money come from? At whose expense were those fortunes made? Oligarchs, wealth funds, oil money, it would be very rare to find someone willing to spend £2bn on a football club who wouldn’t raise questions. I’m not aware of any Arsenal supporting philanthropists with that kind of cash, that’s for sure.
Is that simply a reality we have to accept and get on with? Perhaps. Does it make it easy to deal with? If your only concern is seeing Arsenal or any other football club win trophies, then it probably is. If you have some kind of conscience, perhaps not, but do you keep up with the Jonses, or look on enviously from the moral high ground? Each individual has to make their own judgement on that…….

Alisher Usmanov, potential Arsenal chairman, is a Vicious Thug, Criminal, Racketeer, Heroin Trafficker and Accused Rapist
