Clough plays down Forest speculation
NIGEL Clough has refused to be drawn on speculation linking him with the vacant manager's job at Nottingham Forest.
Clough has guided Burton Albion to a ten-point lead at the top of the Blue Square Premier after last night's 2-0 victory at Mansfield – the Brewers' tenth in a row in league competition. Fellow ex-Forest star and Evening Post columnist Garry Birtles says now is the right time for Forest to move for Clough. The 42-year-old has also been linked with Derby after the resignation of Paul Jewell.

Clough said: "I have had no contact with either club and I will just get on with doing my job at Burton, as always. I would rather talk about the ten games we have won on the bounce. I don't want anything to detract from that because it is a remarkable achievement. All my mind is on is our game with York on Thursday."

“Step forward Nigel your destiny awaits you. If he goes to Derby it would take the guts out of all genuine Forest fans. Mo Johnson and Rangers. Remember he was first wanted (by us) at the time of the dreadful and worst ever appointment of David (spend millions) Platt , we have been patient ever since. Finally thank you Colin Calderwood the first Forest manager to leave the club in a healthier position than when he arrived since BC. Thank you also for getting rid of a lot of dead wood and filling the side with exciting youngsters.You conducted yourself with great dignity and I for one wish you well”

“Billy Davies :) still can't fool me and when I'm proved to be right....it's highly unlikely we'll be relegated.
Isn't that the main aim for this year, at least??”
