The Mirror says that Eastwood has 'issued a huge snub' to Forest by insisting that they are no bigger than Southend when he actually said that moving to another League One side wouldn't be a step up (which is factually correct).
Furthermore, the player's comments were made at least a few days ago when the original story about a move to the City Ground came about and even then there was no confirmation from either club that Forest were set to make a move for the player.
