      Nottingham Forest SUE Sky Sports over Gary Neville’s ‘mafia gang’ comments in now-deleted post 

      by

      NOTTINGHAM FOREST have launched legal action against Sky Sports after the broadcaster’s coverage of a social media post questioning a match official’s appointment, according to reports.It comes after Sky pundit Gary Neville slammed the club for their statement criticising the PGMOL in the wake of their 2-0 defeat to Everton.Gary Neville’s comments have allegedly led to Forest launching legal action against Sky SportsCredit: ReutersAfter the final whistle, Forest’s official Twitter account posted: “Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties not given – which we simply cannot accept.“We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times. NFFC will now consider its options.”They were questioning the appointment of Stuart Attwell and would later release another statement that read: “Nottingham Forest has today submitted a formal request to the PGMOL to release into the public domain the audio recordings between officials during yesterday’s match against Everton at Goodison Park.“The club has requested this be shared for three key match incidents – Ashley Young’s challenge on Giovanni Reyna (24th minute), Ashley Young’s handball (44th minute) and Ashley Young’s challenge on Callum Hudson-Odoi (56th minute).READ MORE ON FOOTBALL“We firmly advocate for the broader football community and supporters to have access to the audio and transcript for full transparency, ensuring the integrity of our sport is upheld.”That led Neville to liken the statement to something a “mafia gang” would put out, which we revealed led to Forest considering taking legal action.Now the Daily Mail states that the club “have launched legal action”.They reported that Sky Sports also “took the decision to remove an article from their website on Friday night in which Neville appeared to backtrack on comments calling for former referee Mark Clattenburg to resign from his role at the City Ground following the controversial statement”.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSClattenburg did leave the club this week.However, the Mail says “Sky Sports insist the decision to withdraw the piece was purely an editorial decision and not related to any ongoing legal matter”. Premier League release full audio of Everton vs Nottingham Forest VAR decisions as Howard Webb admits mistakeFollowing the post, which has been viewed 45 million times, Neville had said: “Mark Clattenburg must resign tonight.“If he saw those words go out which question the integrity of a referee and claims someone is a cheat for supporting another club then he’s supporting what is being said. “He would lose all credibility with referees in the game. He should stand down tonight and distance himself from that statement.“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.”After the news that Clattenburg had quit, Neville said on Sky Sports on Friday: “I’m not surprised at all. I thought that after the statement that Nottingham Forest made, I don’t think any of us ask for people to resign.“We don’t do that, we’re obviously critical at times because that’s the job we’re in. But to ask for people to resign is a very serious step and a severe step.”READ MORE SUN STORIESAn article that was headlined “Gary Neville: Mark Clattenburg resignation not surprising – ‘Forest made his job untenable’” then appeared on the Sky Sports website.But that has since been taken down from the site.What have Nottingham Forest said?
      After the final whistle against Everton, Nottingham Forest’s official Twitter account tweeted: “Three extremely poor decisions – three penalties not given – which we simply cannot accept.
      “We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times.
      “NFFC will now consider its options.”
      On Monday the club revealed they have requested the PGMOL release the audio recordings between officials during the match.
      A statement read: “Nottingham Forest has today submitted a formal request to the PGMOL to release into the public domain the audio recordings between officials during yesterday’s match against Everton at Goodison Park.
      “The club has requested this be shared for three key match incidents – Ashley Young’s challenge on Giovanni Reyna (24th minute), Ashley Young’s handball (44th minute) and Ashley Young’s challenge on Callum Hudson-Odoi (56th minute).
      “We firmly advocate for the broader football community and supporters to have access to the audio and transcript for full transparency, ensuring the integrity of our sport is upheld.” More

      Ten Hag is a gladiator taking shots for his team but he’s losing control – I can’t see him surviving Man Utd axe

      by

      I CANNOT picture a scenario where Erik ten Hag is Manchester United manager next season — and you know what, I think he would secretly agree.He has spent a lot of money on players that haven’t worked and as a result United are falling further and further behind their main rivals.Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has shown a lot of toughness this seasonCredit: ReutersTroy Deeney doesn’t expect Ten Hag to stay on as Man Utd managerCredit: RexSo, there is a part of me that actually respects what he is doing right now in his press conferences with the media — fighting back.He is putting on his gladiator armour, swinging his sword and taking some arrows to the chest trying to shield his stars like a protective dad.It is him against the world — and perhaps with one eye on his next job — he wants to make it clear the problems at United do not just stop with him.But in doing so, with  personal pride kicked around, he’s losing control.Read More on Man UtdHe has banned newspapers and outlets on several occasions. How is that a good thing? Tell me one positive that comes from that? It doesn’t make sense.I remember Sir Alex Ferguson using that tactic but he had won a lot and was a powerful figure in the game, not someone who has only just come to the Premier League.Is Ten Hag really sitting there and saying, “You’re all saying nasty things about me, so you’re banned?”He spoke at length after the FA Cup semi-final against Coventry about how harshly treated United were, calling the reports “embarrassing”.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSBut you are Man United and you were 3-0 up against a Coventry team who haven’t made the play-offs this year — and you nearly lost it. How can it be reported in any other way? If you haven’t played well, just admit it, own it and move on.And you know how to take back control? Play well and win games.I know a few United fans who now just don’t believe a word Ten Hag says.Who could be Man Utd’s next manager after Ten Hag?It has all the hallmarks of a boss digging his heels in and saying: “Look, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, I can be powerful if I want to. I can put my foot down.”There are times when this ploy works, it can galvanise a dressing room and show that their boss is fighting for them. But you’re taking a massive risk.There will always be a split of players who agree and disagree with what you’re doing.I reckon right now there is a 70-30 split in that dressing room, and even if that goes in your favour, that’s still a big chunk of your squad who believe that you don’t have a clue.And I would imagine the likes of Casemiro and Raphael Varane, who have played at a far superior level to any of their team-mates, are thinking: “What are we doing here?” They’ve played at the biggest club in the world in Real Madrid and that’s not how they conduct themselves.Have to control the narrativeUnited captain Bruno Fernandes has hinted in an interview recently he may leave and wants to feel loved. Who at Madrid would ever do that?Once you’ve lost people, you can bring them back a little bit but, at the first sign of another crack, it will all come back up.Look, I know how tough it can be to deal with the media when things aren’t going well, or people don’t know the full story of what is going on in the background.I experienced it with Forest Green. It takes a toll on you and your family.But he is an experienced boss. He should be able to control a narrative.And when you start banning the media, all it does is encourage players to read and take note of those reports.Focusing on the wrong thingsThe players  will be thinking: “Hang on, you tell us not to worry about external noises, yet you must read it because you’re banning media outlets.”Every player needs to be focused on their job, not what is being written.It ends up creating more of a divide.Ten Hag has the feel of a man who is paranoid about what is being said by others and where it is coming from, but that happens at every club.People like Ten Hag want to control everything, especially when bad things are being said.READ MORE SUN STORIESIf you use the media to your advantage, you can’t complain when it goes against you. That’s the way of the world.It is indicative of the issues at United right now — Ten Hag is focusing on all the wrong things.Pundits verdict on Ten Hag’s futureWhere do the pundits stand on Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United future
      Jamie Carragher – Sacked
      “I don’t see how Erik ten Hag stays. It’s just performance after performance.”
      Gary Neville – Stay if he wins the FA Cup
      “To sack a manager who’s won two trophies in his first two seasons at the club I think would be extreme.”
      Louis Saha – On the fence
      “I don’t see it as clearly but they need changes from the players but they need changes from him as well.”
      Alan Shearer – Sacked
      “I believe the future of the Man Utd manager is already determined. Even if they win the FA Cup I think he’s gone.” More
