Nottingham Forest sacked Billy Davies as manager on Monday despite him getting a 4-year contract back in October. Forest lost to Derby 5-0 at the weekend, their seventh game in a row without a win.
Neil Warnock was expected to take over but he rejected the opportunity at he believed there would be too much interference from the owners.
Speaking on Talksport, former Nottingham Forest player Stan Collymore said that the owners should go after "Nottingham Forest people".
Top of his list, the currently employed duo of Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane.
I would pay whatever renumeration [sic] to the FAI and get Roy Keane working under Martin O'Neill at Nottingham Forest. It's a part-time job and they didn't think they were going to get a gig in the short term. The Forest job's come up. Both would get into a Forest all-time eleven. Both want to manage day-to-day with players. Both won't like...I couldn't give a monkey's what Irish fans say in terms of they love the job...
So this would be the blueprint - Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane as manager and assistant manager. Stuart Pearce as technical director...
He then went on to name several former players who he thought should be on the club's sporting board. And just about stopped short of appointing Pierre van Hooijdonk and Ian Woan as joint kitmen.
