Ex-Villa chief Faulkner delighted with Forest move

Former Aston Villa chief Paul Faulkner is delighted with his move to Nottingham Forest.

Faulkner took charge at the City Ground last week.

"We are looking to a couple of different scenarios. There is a plan for if we are in the Championship next season and a plan for if we are in the Premier League," said Faulkner.

"My priority is off the pitch. On the pitch, you can see that Stuart Pearce is there and that is his domain. He is the manager.

"I have to work with the chairman and the manager but my role is really to make their lives easier.

"We want Stuart focusing on the team, on the squad and getting the results. More than anything it is about working with the fantastic staff, to get the business side of the club ticking along, so that we can be a really strong club."
