Forest confirm Bamford bid
Cotterill keen to sign new defender to replace departed Morgan
STEVE Cotterill will today continue his efforts to sign a defender to bolster Nottingham Forest's fight against relegation.
And the Reds may be tempted to sell striker Patrick Bamford to Chelsea to bolster their limited budget.
Cotterill told the Post:
"There has been a bid for him from Chelsea, it is for £1.5m," said Cotterill. "The problem we have is that Patrick has been offered a couple of contracts now.
"And I am not sure Patrick will sign a new contract at Nottingham Forest.
"We are going to have a meeting to decide where that goes. What materialises, we will find out shortly."
And Cotterill confirmed that Forest are still working on a tight budget, despite the sale of Morgan.
"There is only so much money that comes in (from Leicester) now, there is another chunk in six months time," said Cotterill. "Out of the bit we have now, there is money that has been spent to bring in Cunningham and Harewood. So what we have left is very little. Very little."

Cotterill says Bamford has a bright future - but needs to learn his trade with Forest
STEVE Cotterill today predicted Patrick Bamford can make a big impact at Nottingham Forest in the future - but does not believe the striker is ready to play an integral role in the Reds' relegation fight.
"What has helped him is that he has been training with the first team for three months," said Cotterill.
"That has sharpened him up so that, when he goes back down to that level, he is strong.
"There has been a huge improvement in Patrick, from that training he has done with the first team.
"Really, he should have been training with the first team long before now.
"He might have been a bit further along in his development then.
"Currently, I still think Championship football is a little bit too much for him.
"My thoughts for Patrick are, at this minute, that he should sign a contract with us and then go out on loan, to the lower leagues, and play some games."

Race to recruit Morgan hots up
Nottingham Forest have rejected two bids from Leicester City for defender Wes Morgan, and are holding out for £1 million.
Forest turned down a bid of £500,000 on Thursday evening and City immediately responded with a second offer of £650,000 yesterday, which was again refused.
However, Forest are unlikely to reject a third bid for their longest-serving player, who is out of contract at the end of the season, as manager Steve Cotterill knows he must sell before he can strengthen his squad.
A compromise offer of £800,000 may be enough to land the 27-year-old, who has spent his entire career at the City Ground.

"I seem to have done okay with that. So this situation does not hold any fears for me.
"We have to try to maybe improve the squad - whatever that means, because I don't quite know yet.
"Whether that is trading or whether it is working on the training pitch, I don't know yet.
"I am okay with that, really. I am comfortable with the situation.
"What is certain is that I will be stronger for having come through that experience at Portsmouth. I am a better manager now than I was when I walked through the doors there."
Also speaking to the Post, Frank Clark said: "There will be no player brought into this football club that Steve does not want to sign."
"He will come to me and I will talk to the board about anyone he wants to bring to the club. We will decide only on whether the deal is affordable. We will not decide whether any player is good enough.
"There is only one opinion that will matter - rest assured on that. There is only one man who will decide who comes and goes and that is the manager."

Steve McClaren promises to go if Forest struggle continues
Steve McClaren has informed the Nottingham Forest board he will walk away from the City Ground if he fails to turn the club's fortunes around.
The former England head coach has taken decisive action this week after the 5-1 humiliation away to Burnley.
Now after listening to his players and removing Bill Beswick, his long-term associate, from his backroom staff, he revealed he has reached a gentlemen's agreement with the board to leave should he fail to improve results.
"I've said to the board that if they or the players feel it's not working, or going in the right direction, then we'll sit around a table and go our separate ways," McClaren said. "If it's not worked out we'll shake hands and part company. But I'm still here because I believe in that dressing room.
