Roy Keane to Nottingham Forest?

Keane was on the books of Forest from 1990 until 1993, and the former Republic of Ireland midfielder was very successful during his spell at the City Ground before going on to win the Premier League title seven times and the Champions League once with Manchester United.

The 47-year-old has managed Sunderland and Ipswich Town and knows the Championship well.

Forest are very much in the running for the Championship playoffs this season, and they do have enough good players to put together a run of positive results in the coming weeks.
