Coventry City denied that striker Kevin Gallacher had been lined up for a £1.5 million transfer to Nottingham Forest. Gallacher said he had heard nothing about it while chairman Peter Robins said the report was ‘absolute nonsense”.
The Scottish international had been the subject of transfer speculation all season and a £2 million-plus move to Chelsea broke down in August when Gould demanded £2.5 million. City was in a £3 million debt and needed cash big time.
