Frank Clark asked to step down from Nottingham Forest?

Nottingham Forest chairman Frank Clark has reportedly become the second member of the Championship club to face the axe from the outfit's new Kuwaiti owners.

The 68-year-old is believed to have been asked to step down by the Al-Hasawi family on the same day that they sacked manager Steve Cotterill.

It is understood that Clark held a meeting with the new owners yesterday morning and has agreed to part ways with the Championship club, according to the Daily Mail.

A host of managers have been linked to the vacant coaching role but reports have claimed that Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson is the favourite to replace Cotterill.
