Forest confirm talks with Kinnear

Nottingham Forest have confirmed they are in talks with Joe Kinnear regarding the vacant manager's position at the relegation-threatened club.

Paul Hart was sacked by the club, who cancelled their proposed friendly against Bohemians on Tuesday in the aftermath of Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Coventry, their 14th successive outing without a win.

In a statement on Forest's website, chairman Nigel Doughty said: "We're in discussions at the moment with Joe and I would hope we could move our negotiations forward in the coming 48 hours.

"He had tremendous success at Luton who he took to promotion in his first full season before they were gripped by financial and ownership problems. He's also an inspirational and charismatic figure and his popularity with supporters at his previous club speaks volumes for the job he's done."

Luton sacked fomrer Wimbledon boss Kinnear in May 2003, after just over two years at Kenilworth Road.
