Nottingham Forest fans have sent a clear message to Crystal Palace amid reports of interest in manager Steve Cooper.
The Eagles confirmed the appointment of Roy Hodgson until the end of the season on Tuesday, following the sacking of Patrick Vieira. They will however be on the lookout for a new boss when the season ends.
If the club will be in the Premier League or Championship then is still to be seen, with Palace one of nine clubs involved in the race for survival. The same goes for Forest, just one point separates the two teams in the table.

Reports on Wednesday claim that Palace are ‘interested’ in a possible move for Forest boss Cooper in the summer as they search for a long term successor to Hodgson. The Welshmen led the Reds to the Premier League last season with the aim of keeping them there come the end of the current campaign.
Forest fans have taken to social media to give their response to the reports. Most sent a clear message to the Eagles over the manager’s availability, although there were some who thinks it may depend on the outcome of the relegation fight.
Adam : I think this relies heavily on staying up, if we do Stay up I don't see the appeal of Palace for Cooper, it's a sideways step but if we go down then we could see this happening #NFFC #CPFC
Noel Holohan : I’d like to drive a Ferrari next season but it’s not going to happen
Hadleigh McKinlay : I’d like Mbappe to sign for forest in the summer
Adam Webster : @CPFC Leave us alone
Mike Patch : This should tell every Twitter negative Nancy everything they need to know about our manager. So many Premiership clubs who have got rid of their managers this season want ours. Because he has what it takes.
Hands off he’s ours and he’s staying because he gets it.
Micky Postles : He's stated his allegiance to one club so many times this season, this cannot happen ? unless of course Maranakis decides to move him on
Jack : Tbf if we go down I can see it
