Forest move for Davies

Nottingham Forest are holding talks with former Derby boss Billy Davies after identifying him as the man they want to replace the axed Colin Calderwood.

Forest sacked Calderwood on Boxing Day following the 4-2 defeat to Doncaster, with chief executive Mark Arthur indicating the club were looking for a speedy appointment – preferably before the FA Cup third-round tie against Barclays Premier League side Manchester City which takes place this Saturday.
