Davies denies Forest exit reports
The former Derby boss only took charge at the City Ground at the turn of the year and oversaw an immediate upturn in results.[LNB]However, a run of five defeats in six games before Saturday's 1-0 success at promotion-chasing Reading had prompted reports that Davies had threatened to step down.[LNB]"Absolute nonsense," said Davies in The Guardian after the Reading win. "There are one or two things we need to change, but I'm here for the long haul."[LNB]Speaking before the victory at the Madejski Stadium, Davies acknowledged that his style may not be favoured by some supporters.[LNB]He said: "I'm a public figure - I expect stick, I expect the fans to dislike me because I'm whatever. It's no surprise to me and it won't change my philosophy.[LNB]"It won't change my way of thinking. I'm not being arrogant, and I can be arrogant at times, but not on this occasion. I don't give a damn what they think and what they say because I'm here to do the very best I can.[LNB]"I had flak at Preston when I took over and I certainly had flak at Derby when I first went there. I'm certainly not going to lose any sleep about getting flak at Forest.[LNB]"I'm very patient and very focused on where we're going to go. I'm very realistic about the situation we're in and I'll continue to work very hard in the short-term to achieve the ultimate goal of staying in this division with the squad we've got.[LNB]"And then after that we will start our major surgery with the intention of moving this club into the play-offs, into play-off finals and hopefully promotion."[LNB][LNB]
