Newcastle United Premier League rivals confirm resignation after points deduction & FA investigation

As the refereeing consultant for Nottingham Forest, Mark Clattenburg has resigned.

Since taking on the unusual position in February, the former Premier League referee has been the subject of

criticism and controversy. This season, Forest has publicly criticized a number of decisions that have gone

against them, most notably the one made after they were defeated 2-0 by Everton last month.

“Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties not given – which we simply cannot accept,” wrote Forest’s

official X account following the game. Before the match, we informed the PGMOL that the VAR supports Luton,

but they chose not to replace him. Many times, our patience has been put to the test.NFFC will now examine its

alternatives.” The FA is looking into the tweet, and Clattenburg has doubled back on it.

“Even one of these mistakes would have been disastrous,” he stated in his Daily Mail piece. “Three was a joke,

which is why Nottingham Forest felt like victims following another loss in which none of their crucial decisions

worked out.”

After losing four points for breaking the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules,

Forest is now two points clear of Luton Town and the relegation zone.

Following the incident, Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville made a public request for Clattenburg to step down.

Additionally, the former referee—who supports Newcastle United—has officially announced his resignation.

Forest and other participants, according to Clattenburg, have experienced “unintended friction” as a result of his presence.

Clattenburg released the following statement, which was put up on the Nottingham Forest website:

“This is to announce that I will no longer be providing match analysis services to NFFC.”

“I have been pleased to work under a consulting arrangement between NFFC and Referee Consultant Ltd.

since February of this year.

“To the best of my abilities and in the hopes of using my extensive experience as a match official to help NFFC

understand how decisions in relation to key match incidents are made amid the workings of VAR, I performed

my services under the consultancy agreement in good faith.”It is now evident, therefore, that the presence and

operation of these consulting services have unintentionally strained relations between NFFC and other

participants to the point that they are now more of a burden than a benefit to NFFC. It has also resulted in some

participants and pundits unfairly singling me out for personal attacks.
