BILLY Davies' future at Nottingham Forest remains unclear, following a second meeting with the club hierarchy yesterday.

The Scot held more talks with Nigel Doughty, after the chairman had given all parties two weeks to consider their options.

Forest's relationship with their manager has become increasingly fractious, following repeated disagreements over the club's transfer policy.

The club themselves had grown tired of Davies' public criticism – to the point where they have been seriously considering potential replacements, while refusing to confirm Davies remained in charge.

Malky Mackay, Neil Warnock, Chris Hughton and Mark Robins have all been linked with the role.

Davies himself was a candidate for the West Ham and Cardiff jobs.

For now, it remains unclear whether Doughty has worked out a blueprint for Davies to remain as Forest manager next season, as he enters the final year of his contract – or whether the club will part ways with the former Derby boss.

    “Anyone actually found out how to read all the comments rather than just the last 6? clicking on the link that says "view all comments" doesn't do anything”

    “I have been very supportive of NFFC over the last few years and had a season ticket fo 17 of the last 20 seasons however they are now extracting the urine to put it politely to expect fans to shell out for a season ticket in less than 3 weeks when we don't even know who our manager is going to be for sure. I have heard plenty of people complain about lack of info re signings etc but this is much deeper than that. It is Doughty's club and he runs it how he likes. He is an investor so should see it as reasonable that if he expects 15000 people to invest hundreds of pounds each in his business that they deserve some respect and a little bit of knowledge relating to the most important position in the club. I like many others will blindly put my hard earned in without this knowledge but I have a sneaking suspicion that this season will be awful.

    NFFC do the decent thing and let us know what you are planning re the manager.”

    He said he was a Red,
    And then he said he'd rather be a sheep sh*gger instead,
    He wobbles down the left wing,
