Nottingham Forest are said to have withdrawn boss Steve Cooper’s offer of a new contract as owner Evangelos Marinakis ponders changes at the club.
The Greek businessman made clear after the Reds had achieved promotion that he wanted to tie the manager to fresh terms. Talks followed during the summer, with the framework of a new deal understood to have been broadly agreed.
Cooper has consistently underlined his commitment to Forest since then, despite not putting pen to paper. But his job is now under severe pressure as a result of a five-match losing streak which has left his side propping up the Premier League table.
