Forest’s claim has caused a stir, with a member of the City Ground hierarchy describing it as “like a mafia-gang statement”. The East Midlands club are said to be aware that they may face consequences for their emotional outburst at Goodison Park. An FA charge is expected. Forest’s original tweet expressed dissatisfaction with three penalty decisions during the match.

The club demanded the audio from the rejected appeals to be released. A subsequent comment, likening the club’s behavior to that of a petulant child, has further fueled the controversy. The individual making the comment suggested that the club would regret their actions and the negative impact it could have on their history and public image. Forest has since posted an image on social media, with an accompanying caption that has added to the ongoing tension.

The situation has prompted discussions and predictions, such as the possible relegation of clubs from the Premier League. It appears that the controversy surrounding Forest’s statements has continued to escalate.
