Seems to be doing ok at Derby at last , surely will be under enormous pressure to manage at Forest , would be brave to take it on especially whats happened at Forest lately .
Maybe it depends on if they have funds?
Forest want Clough back
Nottingham Forest are ready to make a stunning official move to bring Nigel Clough 'home'.
Forest will approach local rivals Derby for permission to speak to their manager about an emotional return to the club where he played - and, more importantly, where his dad Brian remains a legend.
Clough junior may be willing to accept the challenge, despite the fact that his third-placed Rams are flying high in the Championship while Forest are in disarray after the disastrous appointment of ex-England boss Steve McClaren.
The 'young man,' who grew up in his dad's Forest team of the 1980s, still has the club in his heart and could be tempted to make the move.
Clough is in the last year of his contract at Pride Park and compensation should not be an issue for Forest, who have pledged to get the right man after their seven-game McClaren mistake.
Forest are also still trying to bring Paul Hart back to the club in a senior role despite resistance from current employers Charlton, and want Clough to be the young manager who will work under him.
If Forest are allowed to talk to Clough, they would try to persuade him they have more ambition - and cash - to make a Premier League comeback in the near future than Derby do.
There will be huge attraction in the move for Clough, who has taken Derby a long way but may need finance to get them into the top flight again. Forest may have more potential.
The City Ground fans would welcome Clough like a lost son - and his appointment would give the club's under-fire board a publicity coup.
However, it would also be difficult for Clough to move between two bitter rivals.
He lives in Derby and his family are rooted in the area - changing sides would not just affect him.
