Nottingham Forest has accused the Premier League, FA, and PGMOL of unfairly treating the club. Forest requested the public release of audio recordings between the referee and VAR Stuart Attwell from Sunday’s defeat at Everton. The club also made allegations that refs’ chief Howard Webb was asked to remove Attwell from VAR duties due to his Luton fandom, a claim that Webb denies. Forest’s comments sparked a response from the FA, who requested explanations from the club, manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Neco Williams, and Mark Clattenburg. The Premier League expressed disappointment in Forest’s comments and will investigate. Forest remains furious over the three penalty decisions against them in the match. The club argues that the officiating was influenced by external factors, although Webb insists this is untrue. Forest has called for greater transparency in referee appointments, but their comments could lead to an expensive investigation.
