VICTOR CHANDLER'S POTENTIAL £6M FOREST PAYOUT

Notttingham Forest main sponsor Victor Chandler is sweating over a potential £6m payout if the team win the Championship.

Chandler, Chairman of the company that bears his name, has offered to pay for supporters Season Tickets for next season if Forest win the league.

At the time of the offer Forest were rated as 40/1 outsiders, but following their historic run of five consecutive wins Chandler now rate Forest only a 7/1 chance to win the Championship.

Victor Chandler commented “I am delighted with the response I have had from Forest fans and to see the team doing so well. When I looked at sponsoring a team in the summer we were looking for a large club with the potential to return to the Premier League, and I think we found the right team. I know there is a risk of a huge payout but I’m still cheering on Forest, although if I’m honest I think I’d prefer to see them promoted as runners-up rather than as Champions!”

Chandler also revealed that he hopes to attend his first Forest match before Christmas; “Unfortunately I have been unable to make any of the games so far, so have been confined to watching the matches on TV, but I hope to attend a match soon”.
