Megson rules out Nottingham Forest Merson swoop

Last updated : 10 February 2006 By Andy Van Hagen
Ceefax are today reporting that Gary Megson has dismissed reports linking a Nottingham Forestwith a bid for Paul Merson.

Megson says that Forest will NOT sign Merson "Theres no truth in it. If Paul decides he wants to come back as a player it will be difficult".

Forest fans seemed to be excited by the prospect of signing the soon to be 38 year old midfielder. They believed he would add the experience they desperately need in the middle of the field. But, it seems there is no truth in the link.

Its not surprising Megson isn't interested in Paul. After Mersons release from Portsmouth Megson registered his lack of interesting saying he didnt want all the baggage that came along with the Magic Man.
