Nottingham Forest charged by FA over statement about Attwell
Clattenburg

NOTTINGHAM FOREST were charged today with improper conduct by the FA over their extraordinary statement about VAR Stuart Attwell, on the day referee analyst Mark Clattenburg quit the club.

Forest issued a social media post minutes after the defeat to Everton on April 21 criticising the rejection of three penalty appeals, and claiming they had warned referees’ body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) that Attwell was a fan of relegation rivals Luton but nothing was done about it.

The FA has also charged Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo and full-back Neco Williams over their comments about the officiating, while issuing a formal warning to Clattenburg hours after he announced his resignation.
