Shock Evangelos Marinakis claim made in Nottingham Forest points deduction rant

Richard Keys has had a rant at Nottingham Forest over their points deduction and claims if the Reds are relegated fans won’t see Evangelos Marinakis for dust.

Forest have been docked four points for breaching the Premier League ’s financial rules, which has plunged them into the relegation zone with just nine matches left to play this season. They are one point adrift of safety in 18th place.

The club issued a statement in the wake of the sanction, making it clear they are “extremely disappointed” with the points deduction as they decide whether to launch an appeal. And Keys has delivered his verdict on the penalty and made a claim about Marinakis, despite the Greek repeatedly stating his commitment to the club.

“What did Forest think the outcome would be when they embarked on their ridiculous spending spree last summer?” he wrote on X. “Today’s events were entirely predictable. I was heavily criticised for saying so. If this results in relegation my guess is you won’t see the owner for dust.”
