Whatever is said of Fawaz. And yes his mistakes have been numerous.
But hand on heart is the club in a better or worse place when he first arrived?
In the ranks of dubious owners and self serving ones, Fawaz is none of those.
Dumb he maybe, but even the same could be said of Doughty.

So don't diss the man who poured 100 million quid when nobody wanted to touch us.
In the halcyon days of Clough and Taylor the club was run by a committee with rotating chairmen, and we were the only club in the league with that arrangement. Brian Clough quite liked it that way and only when the club was floated temporarily on The Stock Exchange did we stop winning anything. The man who brought Brian Clough to the club was not a big suit with bags of money, just someone who ran a Post Office.
