In reaction to Gary Neville’s comparison of the Nottingham Forest team’s handling of the penalty debate to a “mafia gang,” the club may file a lawsuit against Sky Sports.
Neville publicly condemned Forest for making a contentious comment that questioned the objectivity of VAR official Stuart Attwell.
The team is now considering their options how to respond.
The Daily Mail claims that Forest’s legal department is writing a letter to Sky on Neville’s remarks, so that might take the shape of legal action.
A statement from Forest on X stated that the team had “warned” refereeing body PGMOL about VAR official Attwell’s support of relegation rivals Luton prior to the game.
Shortly after the full-time whistle ended Sunday’s Premier League defeat to Everton, in which three penalty appeals were denied, Forest expressed dissatisfaction.
The FA and the Premier League are both looking into Forest’s actions, and Neville wasn’t happy with the statement.
