  Nottingham Forest favour a foreign manager to replace sacked Dougie Freedman, the Post understands. On Monday morning, the Reds will begin their search for a seventh manager in less than four years, after Freedman was axed this afternoon. Chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi opted to bring an end to the Scotsman's tenure, after a disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday extended a recent poor run of form to five defeats in their last six Championship games. First team coach Paul...

  Like many relationships, it was one that ended after a heated discussion and a disagreement over expectations. After less than 14 months as Nottingham Forest manager, Dougie Freedman's tenure was effectively brought to an end in the space of a pointed telephone conversation with chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi. The Reds owner did not inform the Scotsman of his departure himself, but within a few hours the axe had been swung and the Scotsman was told of the decision by the club's head of finance,...

  I must admit from the very first day Forest announced Dougie as our manager I wasn't filled with excitement.To be honest he has done nothing to make me change my mind, but was sacking him the right decision? The truth is i'm not too sure.He has brought some fairly decent players in under the restrictions to be fair, but what I don't like is the way he is quick to single players out when things go wrong.Also he would praise a player, like one of the youngsters, then drop them from the side the...

  Nottingham Forest have turned to Paul Williams as the man to replace Dougie Freedman until the end of the season. But who is the new man charged with addressing a dip in form for the Reds?

  The Forest Recreation Ground is the most dangerous park in Nottingham – with more crimes reported there than in all the city's other open spaces combined. Thefts, assaults and drug use are the main reasons police were called to the park 109 times in 2015. There were also two reports of rape, a report of child cruelty and six of criminal damage to vehicles at Forest Rec. Safety campaigners have called for more lighting while police have increased patrols. But the council, which runs...

  Just as you sense a potential for stability at NFFC, it's torn apart again. Will we ever get a manager who will see out a full season? My concern is with the current hierarchy no we won't. An injury ravaged season, not helped by the embargo or the lack of support behind the scenes didn't help Dougie in any way. I've had a season ticket for nearly 30 years, this year has seen some of the most negative football we have played, and in that time we've seen a lot of negative football! I had a...

  Sacking Dougie Freedman is yet another instance of Fawaz Al Hasawi rearranging deckchairs on the iceberg stricken mess we've become. It's an irrelevance in a sea of farce that shows no sign of ending. Was the football great? No. But we were in real danger of being in a dogfight and Dougie made us resilient, found a way to make the limited resources at his disposal functional as a team. I feel sorry for him and feel that some of the criticism of him has been very harsh. It's all about context...
