The former Forest striker has been a critic of the City Ground owner for some time.

Nottingham Forest picked up a crucial win in the Championship this afternoon, in their first game since the sacking of Philippe Montanier.

Garry Brazil took interim charge for the game and Forest did well to pick up a 1-0 win against Bristol City courtesy of Ben Osborn’s strike in the 67th minute.

It was a result they needed after some tough times at the club recently. An American takeover fell through, Montanier was sacked, captain Henri Lansbury was sold to Aston Villa and the results on the pitch were suffering as a result.

One former player who has been very vocal in his criticism of the way things are being run at Forest is Stan Collymore.

The 45-year-old spent two seasons at the club, scoring an impressive tally of goals during his time at the City Ground before joining Liverpool in 1995.

Collymore was at the game and also attended a protest against the running of the club earlier in the day.

After the game he was clearly pleased with the result and confirmed he will be meeting Nottingham Forest owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi on Tuesday:

Some Forest fans have not been too welcoming of Collymore’s attempts to help the club, suggesting a hidden agenda.

But It seems as though he does have a genuine affinity for his former club and does not want to see them struggle at the wrong end of the Championship.
