Forest chiefs on collision course over Barnet star

Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies is on a potential collision course with David Pleat over Barnet starlet Albert Adomah.
Former Spurs manager Pleat, 65, is big pals with Forest owner and chairman Nigel Doughty, who has made him the club’s football consultant.
And Pleat presides over Forest’s transfer panel which must approve all purchases.
It has frustrated Davies in the past as he has missed out on transfer targets in January this year and in 2009.
The fiery Scot, whose side are chasing automatic promotion, has even made his grievances publicly known.
But Pleat appears to be getting even more involved than ever in the club's transfer dealings.
He has already personally scouted Barnet winger Adomah, 22, several times in League Two.
Adomah is out of contract in the summer after turning down a new deal at Underhill and will be available for just compensation.
He could move now on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.
But he is unsure about going to Forest as he doesn’t know if Davies really wants him.
