The Birmingham Mail have summarised how the pending Nottingham Forest takeover, will affect the future of their captain, Henri Lansbury.
They have revealed that interested club, Aston Villa will have to wait until any takeover is complete – before hearing whether their interest in the Midfielder will be successful
The club has been waiting since Tuesday for an answer from Forest, for the player who has also interested the likes of Derby and Watford in recent times.
Lansbury missed this weekends FA cup defeat to Wigan, as talk surrounding his future continues.
Philip Montanier, the club’s manager, said prior to the fixture that he chose to leave him out, as he felt his head would be in the wrong place.
(From The Nottingham Post) “There is nothing new to report,” he said.
“We talked among ourselves about whether he should play, but iI felt I couldn’t have players playing who weren’t at 100%.
“We took the decision together. I explained to Henri that he would not be in the team. He is not on strike.
“We will wait to see how the situation evolves. We need the takeover to happen so we can make decisions.”
