HOOIJDONK VILL GÖRA LIVET SVÅRT

Pierre van Hooijdonk is determined to make life as difficult as possible for Forest. Having ruined an entire season, now it seems he is out to get in the way of Forest's 1st division plans this summer. It is unlikely that there will be many clubs queuing up to sign him, so it is absolutely vital that when one does come along, Forest should look to get rid of him even for a knocked down price. Turkish club, Fenerbahche have reportedly made a £4 million bid for the striker. However Hooijdonk now says that he is not in a hurry to quit Forest. "I have no need to rush. Fenerbahce are a big club but I will only go to another team when I know it's the correct one," he said.


WEST HAM VILL HA GOUGH

Some good news - West Ham look likely to entice Richard Gough away during the summer. Gough is desperate to see out his career in the Premiership and despite being 37 is still a key player. He's okay for a team like West Ham who seem to be settled in the Premiership, but Forest should be building for next season and beyond. They can't do that with people the wrong side of 35.


LYTTLE VILL BORT

Des Lyttle has rejected Forest's offer of a 12 month extension to his contract because he is unhappy with the terms. The 27 year old defender has been in and out of the Forest side this season and his career seems to be on the downward slide. He feels it is therefore the time to leave and start a fresh.

SOUNESS SKRÄCK HISTORIA

I's probably just a silly tabloid rumour, but Graham Souness has been linked with the manager's job at the City Ground along with a host of other names. Souness, recently sacked by Portugese giants, Benfica for apparantley falling out with the players is reported to be interested. He has managed Rangers, Liverpool and Southampton in the past and was not exactly a legend at any of those clubs. He also has health problems. He had a heart bypass operation a few years ago and the Forest job is definitely not one for the faint-hearted! If Forest need any advice, they need only ask Hugo Porfirio. He was desperate to get away from Benfica while Souness was in charge. Now he's gone, Porfirio wants to return. Forest fans would have liked him to stay. Well there would be no chance if Souness was appointed. And you can see a few more players packing their bags too. Forest, one word of advice - DON'T!

TVÅ VINSTER I RAD !!!

In a breathtaking game, Forest condemned Blackburn Rovers to almost definite relegation by winning their second game in a row thanks to Dougie Freedman and Chris Bart- Williams. Freedman's opener was cancelled out by Kevin Gallagher, but Mark Crossley then saved yet another penalty just before half-time and Bart-Williams restored Forest's lead in the second half. Crossley was again in superb form as Forest delighted their travelling fans.
