08/07/2012 by David McIntyre Marc Bircham has rejected an approach to take over as director of football at Nottingham Forest. The QPR youth coach, who made more than 150 appearances as an Râs player, was offered the role at the Championship club, where former Loftus Road chairman Gianni Paladini has recently been involved in an advisory capacity. Forest remain interested in appointing Bircham but have so far been told he is keen to stay put. Bircham has been asked to manage a newly created development squad at QPR as part of major changes to the clubâs structure. http://www.westlondonsport.com/qpr/bircham-rejects7-nottingham-forest-job83-offer/
