Pearce Seals Double Deal Before World Cup Exit

Last updated : 09 June 2014 By Forest

It's a smart move by the Reds if true as it will put to bed rumours of Pearce backing away from the job before it has even begun while also confirming that business can be done even if the manager is away on pundit duty in Brazil.

"I think Forest fans know Stuart Pearce well enough,” he told Sky Sports on Sunday. "I have a great back up staff and a staff of recruitment people who are working with me.

"We are hoping to announce two signings in Nottingham tomorrow. We are on the ball, that is not a problem, that is for sure."

Both signings are thought to be strikers.

***Update*** Reports suggest that the two players in question are Matty Fryatt and towering Lars Veldwijk from Excelsior of Holland.
