The visitors looked uncomfortable and disorganized, but Forest had every right to hope for at least one goal.<\/p>\n<p>they got nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Alexis Mac Allister scored with seven minutes left in stoppage time to snatch a deserved 1-0 victory. Jamie Carragher described it as one of the most blatant thefts of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Forest remain two points above the relegation zone and Thursday&#8217;s Europa League second leg against Fenerbahce at the City Ground, with a 3-0 lead all but guaranteed to advance, provides an immediate opportunity to lift spirits before the domestic grind resumes.<\/p>\n<p>Last week saw some real optimism thanks to football, but news coming out of Old Trafford and the Etihad threatens to cast a shadow on Pereira&#8217;s rebuilding project.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"man-city-eye-double-deal-for-forest-stars-gibbs-white-and-anderson\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Man_City_eye_double_deals_for_Forest_stars_Gibbs-White_and_Anderson\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Man City eye double deals for Forest stars Gibbs-White and Anderson<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>News from Germany earlier this week suggested that Arnaud Calimendo had his sights firmly set on leaving the forest permanently, and news of further departures has followed.<\/p>\n<p>According to TEAMtalk, Man City are leading the race to sign Elliott Anderson, but are also in the race for Morgan Gibbs-White, who is vying to sign him with Man United.<\/p>\n<p>Pep Guardiola&#8217;s side are thought to be targeting both players this summer, with both players &#8220;100 per cent&#8221; set to leave the City Ground if Forest are relegated to the Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs-White was Forest&#8217;s Europa League captain in Istanbul, making 155 appearances for the club, scoring 26 goals and providing 33 assists.<\/p>\n<p>A key detail that makes a move for the Englishman particularly realistic is the proposed release clause in Gibbs-White&#8217;s contract, which is understood to be triggered for a fee in the region of \u00a380m if a Champions League-qualified club comes calling.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Anderson could cost more than \u00a3100m to knock on Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s door with a bid to join England&#8217;s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n<p>The former Newcastle star has been one of the shining lights in Forest&#8217;s frantic campaign and there are overwhelming expectations that he will start the summer auction.<\/p>\n<p>City already appear to be at the front of the queue, and signing both Gibbs-White and Anderson would be a significant statement of intent.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"nottingham-forest-crystal-palace-transfers-pavel-sulc-john-textor\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lyon-ligue-1-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lyon-ligue-1-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"440\" height=\"364\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lyon League-1\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lyon-ligue-1-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/lyon-ligue-1-2.jpg?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nottingham_Forest_look_to_sign_Lyon_star_to_prevent_double_signing_of_Crystal_Palace_and_Texter\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tNottingham Forest look to sign Lyon star to prevent double signing of Crystal Palace and Texter<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Tricky trees can ruin their plans.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nottingham Forest could lose two star players to Man City this summer, with the Sky Blues showing strong interest in both players, according to a new report.
