NOTTINGHAM FOREST owner Evangelos Marinakis has reportedly BANNED club staff from wearing certain colours.
Marinakis, 55, recently splashed out over £130m on 23 new players for the newly-promoted Prem club.
The Athletic have revealed that fiery Marinakis has some bizarre rules in place at the side’s City Ground and training facilities.

It is said one training kit had to be SWITCHED because it had too much green on it.
