Forest Move for McClaren

Nottingham Forest appear to have plans for Steve McClaren after admitting their interest in the former England coach yesterday.

McClaren has been working overseas since his spell in charge of the national team ended in failure and ridicule.

He looks set to return though, with Forest confirming they have opened talks with 50-year-old McClaren after sacking Davies, who had a year remaining on a three-and-a-half-year contract.

Forest released a statement on their official website which read: “Nottingham Forest have announced this afternoon that they have terminated the contract of manager Billy Davies with immediate effect.

“They have also revealed that they are now talking to Steve McClaren about The City Ground vacancy.

“The club will be making no further comment at this stage.”
