Former Bolton and Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce could return to football with Nottingham Forest.

The News of the World says it is understood that business associates close to Big Sam want to purchase the struggling Championship club now managed by Scot Colin Calderwood.

The former Bolton chief was only last week was linked to Portsmouth after Harry Redknapp's surprise switch to Tottenham.

From 2008. Oh dear.

Interestingly, also from 2008:

NOTTINGHAM Forest today insisted reports that the club was about to be sold to a Middle East consortium are 'complete rubbish'.

A national newspaper this morning suggested that Martin O'Neill was set to be lured away from Aston Villa to take over as manager, once the Dubai based group arrive.

But chief executive Mark Arthur said that there was no foundation in any recent speculation that the club was to be sold, with former Notts County boss Sam Allardyce also said to be heading up a consortium interested in the club.

"It's rubbish," said Arthur, who added that the Championship club is not for sale.

Some people are busy at work and come on here every now and then to pass a bit of time and see what's happening.

I'd rather come on here and see people's views of possible bidders and any bits of info instead of your constant comments about 'it's definately happening and its going to be amazing'.. You can't even tell us where you've heard it from!?

If it happens I'll apologise to you, if it doesn't happen then at least have the decency to close your account.

BOOM!
