According to reports, Gibbs-White called Frank to explain why the move didn't go through. He apologized for the situation, but Frank told him that an apology wasn't necessary. The two ended their conversation on a positive note.
Gibbs-White eventually decided to stay with Forest and sign a new contract. This decision was influenced by a personal intervention from Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest. Marinakis flew to England for one-on-one talks with Gibbs-White at the time.
