NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Here's a statement from Nottingham Forest after the sacking of manager Sean O'Driscoll.
Chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi said: "We cannot speak highly enough of Sean as a man. He was appointed at an extremely difficult time for the Club and can count himself unlucky to have lost his job with the team just one point away from the top six.
"With the January transfer window approaching, we feel it's the right time to make a change.
"We are looking to bring in an ambitious manager with Premier League experience."
Abdulaziz Al Hasawi, who was at The City Ground for today's game against Leeds, added: "The timing of our decision may look a little odd after the win over Leeds but sometimes you need to make changes with the long term future in mind.
"Sometimes those changes need to be made from a position of strength rather than weakness and that is what we are trying to do."
