Latest Nottingham Forest news as broadcaster Sky Sports responds to pundit's remarks following Reds' defeat to Everton in April and huge row over role of VAR in Goodison Park reverse

Sky Sports have issued an apology to Nottingham Forest for pundit Gary Neville ’s “mafia gang” slur. Neville made the remark last season in the wake of a furious social media statement posted by the Reds following defeat at Everton. It led to Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis confirming a legal letter had been sent to Sky .

“Sky Sports have discussed with Gary the language used and its potential to cause offence. Gary has agreed not to use the same or similar terms in future coverage. Sky Sports apologises to Nottingham Forest for any offence caused by this language.” "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."
