Forest Bans Neville, Sky Moves Chelsea Match Coverage

Nottingham Forest banned Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville from attending their final Premier League match of the season against Chelsea at the City Ground, following his criticism of owner Evangelos Marinakis for confronting manager Nuno Espirito Santo after a draw with Leicester City. As a result, Sky Sports shifted its coverage of the match to its London studios, and Neville withdrew from participation. Forest made a formal complaint to Sky, citing Neville's alleged ongoing grudge and concerns about a hostile fan reaction, while asserting their rights under Premier League media accreditation rules. The incident has sparked debate about media freedom and club transparency, with Neville expressing disappointment at being barred for expressing his views, a first in his 14-year broadcasting career. Forest had previously accused Neville of spreading 'fake news' and called for restraint from public figures. The match remains critical for Champions League qualification hopes.
