Takeover twitterings, but no new club crest

There are claims being made on Twitter that Thursday (July 12) will see the official announcement and signing of the Al-Hasawi takeover.

Good news if true, and the poster responsible seems well connected with Fawaz Al-Hasawi, even though it’s not entirely clear to an English-speaker what his authority is.

And it was the language barrier that led to some amusing confusion yesterday when Fawaz himself tweeted a photo of what looked like a new, Kuwait-inspired Forest badge.

After what has happened to Cardiff recently, the image understandably caused a bit of a furore on Twitter and the forums, except on the LTLF Forum where most people remembered the image originally being posted as a joke exactly a month earlier by Windows.

His logo was based on the Kuwaiti Coat of Arms, and you have to admit there is a striking similarity between the waves on the two designs, but Mr Al-Hasawi was moved to tweet a denial that he was thinking of changing the badge, much to the relief of everyone.
