Gary Neville does not appear to care much for Nottingham Forest.
Since Forest’s return to the Premier League, he’s frequently expressed ideas that have enraged the club’s fans.
This week is no exception, and Neville remains unwilling to modify his mind about the club.
Forest have been in trouble this week after making a controversial post on X soon after a 2-0 loss to Everton on Sunday.
Alan Shearer criticised the post, and Forest also received criticism from other pundits.
Earlier today, Ian Wright was said to have described Evangelos Marinakis as ‘out of control’, and Forest appear to be on a warpath right now.
Now Neville has returned to the scene to make some nasty claims about Forest, with Mark Clattenburg once again in his sights.
What Gary Neville has now said about Mark Clattenburg
You’d be excused for assuming Clattenburg had sent off Neville a dozen times as a player, but this is not the case.
Now, Neville has expressed his displeasure with Clattenburg regarding his work as a referee analyst at Forest.
The former Manchester United and England player stated following Sunday’s incident that Clattenburg should resign from his position at Forest, and he has now been informed why.
Neville stated on The Overlap: “The reason I asked him to resign is because if he actually saw that Luton tweet, he actually has to distance himself from it or be part of it. If he’s part of that I’m like wow.
“The second thing for me is football. If you’re a leader of a football club, since Mark Clattenburg has come in, in the last 10 games, they have won one match. Before the last 10 games, they won four. You never give football players or employees in any business a get-out or an excuse. Ever. He has given them an excuse to not win.
“That might sound really crazy but when you put that negativity drain in, when you have your manager and players – Neco Williams is probably a really good lad, but he’s now talking about and probably going to get in trouble for it, referees. The manager is talking about referees. The fans are. They’re all consumed with this idea that everyone is against us. It’s not working for them the strategy.
“What they need to do is switch their mentality completely and forget about referees. Get Clattenburg out of the director’s box so the camera stops going on him, concentrate on football because they are going to go down based upon this if they are not careful.”
Neville gripes about Forest are wide of the mark
Neville’s comments regarding Clattenburg make no sense, and it appears that people are misinterpreting his role.
The former referee has come in to help Forest understand why decisions are going against them, not to make excuses.
Clattenburg is present on match days to oversee the game and assist Forest in determining whether they have been caught off guard by a poor decision.
It’s entirely coincidental that Forest has only won two games since Clattenburg joined the club – Neville got that part wrong.
It appears that Neville and a few of his media colleagues want Forest to be relegated, and perhaps the club can band together and get enough points to remain in the Premier League.
