Daniel McKorley, the Chief Executive Officer of the McDan Group of Companies in Ghana, has stated his desire to buy English Premier League side, Nottingham Forest.

The Ghanaian business man is a huge fan of the Premier League side and has been supporting the club since their days in the lower divisions.

The former European champions returned to the topflight after a 21 year absence following victory over Sheffield United in the promotion play-off final in 2022.

"The only team I support in the world apart from Oly [Great Olympics] is Nottingham Forest," Dr Mckorley to Joy Sports, as quoted by GHANASoccernet.
"I have been a supporter of Nottingham Forest when Nottingham was even in the third division. Why? Because I want to buy that team. I want to buy Nottingham Forest, imagine with all this development going on," he added.
"McDan buys Nottingham Forest, and every time you see about 60% of the players [in the team] from the English league are from Ghana," he concluded.

Nottingham Forest survived the drop last season after finishing 16th in the English Premier League, as reported by transfermarkt.

Nottingham star Awoniyi opens up on upbringing

Super Eagles star, Nottingham's Taiwo Awoniyi has narrated the story of how he became a professional footballer instead of chasing a degree at a university.

The Nigerian striker, who currently plays for Premier League side Nottingham Forest, revealed how he used the money meant for him to register for an exam to pursue his dream.

Awoniyi joined Liverpool after the under-17 2013 FIFA World Cup in the United Arab Emirates but failed to make the first team due to problems with his work permit.
