SAD NEWS: Nottingham forest Head Coach Terminates his Contract and Leaves the club because of …

The Football Association filed misconduct charges against Nottingham Forest, manager Nuno Espirito Santo,

and defender Neco Williams on the same day that veteran Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg resigned from his position with the team.

Nuno and Williams’ remarks after the 2-0 loss at Everton last month prompted action from the FA,

and Clattenburg received a warning regarding his behavior going forward.

 

The Football Association stated: “It’s alleged that the club,

manager and player’s comments constitute improper conduct in that they imply bias and/or question the integrity of the match officials and/or bring the game into disrepute.”

They have until Thursday to respond to the charge.

Shortly after the final whistle, Forest, incensed at three penalty decisions against them,

made a furious statement on X that was viewed over 45 million times.

 

The team stated that they informed the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL),

the organization that oversees referees, that Stuart Attwell, the game’s video assistant referee (VAR), was purportedly a supporter of Luton, a team that is relegated.

BBC Sport has been informed that, contrary to the negative post on social media,

Forest did not request that Attwell be substituted before the game.

Williams said to Sky Sports following the match, “This happens every single week now.”

I’m not sure why, but decisions are being made against us. Is it because our team is in the lowest half of the table?

Since I can assure you that every single one of them will be received by the top six teams.

 

“I’m positive that everyone who watched the game today understood that all three of the penalties were obvious,

flagrant ones. It’s absurd. We are currently receiving these verdicts against us week after week.”

While Clattenburg termed the choices a joke and claimed Forest felt victimized,

Nuno suggested the officials played dirty games. Clattenburg made these comments in the Sunday Mail.

 

The FA invited the three of them to share their observations. On Thursday, Nuno acknowledged that he had replied.

The Premier League also declared that it will look into the remarks.

The announcement follows Clattenburg’s resignation,

citing that his position had “become more of a hindrance than help” to the team.

In February, Clattenburg started serving as a referee analyst for the Premier League team that was in danger of relegation.

He had already been involved in a well-publicized incident during Liverpool’s March loss,

when he openly criticized referee Paul Tierney following Darwin Nunez’s late winner.

 

He said that after an earlier foul caused the game to be paused,

Forest ought to have been awarded the ball back and that they were not allowed to talk with Tierney in the officials’ dressing room following the game.

 

Gary Neville, a Sky Sports analyst and former Manchester United defender,

urged Clattenburg to step down following Forest’s remarks following the Everton match.

 

Clattenburg claimed that his involvement had resulted in “unintended friction between Forest and other participants” in a statement he released on Friday.

“It has also led to the unmerited targeting of me, personally, by certain participants and pundits,” he added.

 

“I performed my services under the consultancy agreement in good faith,

to the best of my abilities and in the hope of using my extensive experience as a match official to help Nottingham Forest understand how decisions in relation to key match incidents are made amid the workings of VAR.”

Forest travel to relegated Sheffield United on Saturday sitting a point above the Premier League’s bottom three.
