Nottingham Forest are currently ahead of Derby County in the Championship standings.
Nottingham Forest owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi has hit back at an antagonistic Derby County supporter on Twitter.
With rumours circulating that Al-Hasawi was close to selling Forest (Telegraph), one Derby fan took it upon himself to urge the Kuwaiti businessman to remain at the City Ground.
Al-Hasawi has aggravated a large portion of Forest fans during his time at the helm, with the Midlands club failing to progress under his stewardship.
However, Al-Hasawi was clearly in no mood to take criticism from rival supporters – especially with Derby underperforming themselves.
Derby went into the campaign with high hopes following the appointment of Nigel Pearson, but they are yet to click into gear.
The Rams have won just one of their first six Championship matches, and were beaten 2-0 by Newcastle United in their most recent outing.
Pearson’s side currently occupy 19th place in the Championship table, which is well below expectations.
Forest, meanwhile, are in 12th position and could rise even higher if they beat Aston Villa later today.
