FoxyPV Posted 19 May 2010 Posted 19 May 2010 Full Article Billy Davies will hold talks with Nottingham Forest's owner, Nigel Doughty, on Friday to determine whether he continues as manager of the club after a potentially irreparable split at boardroom level.Davies' relationship with Doughty and the chief executive, Mark Arthur, has deteriorated to the point that he has been openly advertising his potential availability during a series of interviews that have been described as "brazen beyond belief" behind the scenes at the City Ground. "There is not a job that I would not consider," Davies said in one interview on STV when asked about the vacancy at Celtic and whether it was true that he, as a Rangers man, was genuinely interested. "From my point of view I certainly would not turn my back on any potential interested party if they make it official to Forest, if they agree compensation, and they do what is necessary." Forest's information is that Davies was also put forward for the Bolton Wanderers job before Owen Coyle's appointment in January and Doughty will demand to know whether Davies is committed to the club and, if so, make it clear that he will not tolerate any more of what he regards as blatant disloyalty. Doughty has made sure to see all of Davies's recent interviews, particularly the one in Scotland, and it cannot be discounted he will sack, or hand out an official warning, to the former Derby County and Preston North End manager if he is not satisfied with the outcome of their talks. Equally, Davies is seriously considering resigning if he does not get more control of transfer issues after a season in which he feels he has been undermined by the men in power.

Edmund Posted 19 May 2010 Posted 19 May 2010 He is but I'm sure I read that his grandfather played for Notts County or something, and that he came from a County supporting family as a result? That rules him out then Had a quick glance on a Forest forum and found this gem, it reeks of waccoe actually who's to say this wasn't the plan all along. Billy comes out in the press with the talk of being unsettled only to sneak around and sort out all the transfer targets throwing other clubs off the scent. If this was the case that is straight out of the book of clough and a fair few forest fans will be feeling a bit sheepish
Koke Posted 19 May 2010 Posted 19 May 2010 He seems to be whining a fair bit about one thing or another. Good manager as he is, always thought he was a bit of a moaning mercenary cunt. He clearly doesn't give a shit about Forest. Why doesn't he just fuck off now so they have enough time to appoint a new man, and give him enough time to prepare for next season.
Hitesh Posted 20 May 2010 Posted 20 May 2010 Oh dear! Not going down well with the Forest fans I know!
Corky Posted 20 May 2010 Posted 20 May 2010 I can see him managing us one day, I don't know why though.
