Nottingham Forest news: Fan views on Marinakis and club statement

We asked for your views on Nottingham Forest’s statement aimed at clearing up the on-pitch controversy surrounding owner Evangelos Marinakis after Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Leicester City.

Here are some of your comments:

Johnny: It could have waited, and not be on the pitch. Whether it causes a mass reaction is neither here nor there. It was not a wise move.

Anon: This was a result of conceding a late goal from an already relegated team, which in all likelihood cost us Champions League football. The owner has really left a bad taste in supporters’ mouths.

Annie: Load of rubbish! It was a heated confrontation from the owner! Manager, as usual, kept calm and professional! The manager has shown incredible skills with this team! Remember, at the beginning of the season, pundits were saying Notts would be the first team to go down! Now look at them? Time for the owner to be proud of his coach and team! The season hasn’t ended, so still a good chance of Europe! The owner should hang his head in shame!

However, there were replies defending Marinakis and some going as far as to say that the Greek owner wasn’t looking to interact with Nuno in the first place.

Dan: Looks like a problem in communication between the player/medical staff, misinforming Nuno. Marinakis is entitled to be angry, he wears his heart on his sleeve. Comments from Neville/Carragher are all too predictable and, per usual, well worth ignoring.

Mark: Look at the footage and Marinakis was going straight past Nuno to someone else, and it was Nuno who stopped him to speak. It looked like both of them were frustrated as to what happened and Nuno said as much minutes after the game. He didn’t go there purposely to see Nuno.

Ken: Should have said nothing at all. The only thing that matters in this is that Awoniyi makes a speedy and full recovery. If it was the fitness team he was mad at, he should have summoned them to the dressing room. He wasn’t having a go at Nuno.
