Nottingham Forest have described reports that they have refused two rival Championship clubs permission to talk to manager Billy Davies as "nonsense." A national newspaper claimed that QPR and Sheffield United want the Scot.
Steve Gallen and Marc Bircham have been placed in caretaker charge of QPR following the suspension of boss Jim Magilton, but Kevin Blackwell remains the manager of Sheffield United.
However, a Forest spokesman stated that there had been no contact with either club.
