Stuart Pearce's job as manager of Nottingham Forest is said to be in doubt following his side's latest setback.
The Reds were dumped out of the FA Cup by Rochdale at Spotland earlier today in the biggest shock of the third round so far.
Things are also looking bleak for Forest in the Championship following a poor run of form which has seen them pick up just two wins from their last 17 games.
A report in The Telegraph claims that Pearce could now be on the brink of being sacked by City Ground chiefs, who are concerned by the alarming dip in form.
Forest, who are currently 11th in the second tier, have hired five different managers in a little over two years.
