E-mail this to a friend Printable version Manager Steve McClaren and chairman Nigel Doughty have both resigned from their roles at Championship strugglers Nottingham Forest.
McClaren, who was in charge for 111 days, held a two-hour meeting with Doughty after Sunday's 3-1 defeat against Birmingham.
Forest are currently fourth from bottom in the table, having collected eight points from 10 games.
McClaren was reportedly unhappy about being unable to sign two loan players.
"He was going to walk out anyway, I understand," said BBC Radio 5 live's Pat Murphy. "He'd hoped to go out on a high note after the game today against Birmingham.
"He was upset at not being able to secure two Premiership players on loan terms. The chairman felt the wages would be too high."

At the end of the day he still had a better squad than most teams in this league to work with whether he was lied to by the board or not

Just rumours that Doughty stepped down Ray? Fair play to McClaren for walking, means he doesnt get a payout which is the honourable thing to do!! We need to go and get Billy back, it wont happen but would be the ideal situation

So, ND resigns but still owns - what does that mean for Forest? He's looking to sell up?
