Nottingham Forest may suing Sky over Gary Neville’s “mafia slur.”While the FA is prepared to throw book at club after bombshell comments, with Mark Clattenburg in serious water over Mail Sport column
Nottingham Forest are considering legal action against Sky after pundit Gary Neville labelled their controversial statement following defeat at Everton like that of a ‘mafia gang’.
Greek owner Evangelos Marinakis was furious when his team were denied three penalties during the 2-0 loss at Goodison Park, with VAR Stuart Attwell seemingly choosing not to send referee Anthony Taylor to his pitchside monitor to review any of the decisions.
The club then posted on X that they had warned the PGMOL about Attwell being a fan of Luton Town, their relegation rivals.
Neville said: ‘It’s like a mafia-gang statement. I mean, honestly, what the hell are they playing at? It’s like a petulant child, it’s embarrassing. And some of those things they’re saying in there, the suggestion of some sort of inferring of cheating because there’s an official in VAR in Stockley Park who’s a Luton fan is a scandal, and they will pay for that.’
Mail Sport understands Forest’s legal team are now drafting a letter to Sky concerning Neville’s comments.
