A report claims that interim manager Paul Williams is close to quitting Nottingham Forest because of interference from owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi.

Paul Williams is reportedly considering his future as boss of Nottingham Forest.

The 45-year-old agreed to take charge at the City Ground until the end of the season following last month's sacking of Dougie Freedman.

However, interference from owner Fawaz Al-Hasawi has left Williams on the verge of quitting, according to The Sun.

The report adds that Al-Hasawi has demanded that certain players start games, while also hassling Williams to use certain tactics.

The Tricky Trees, who have lost their last three games, are nine points above the Championship relegation zone.
