‘Scandalous’ – Gary Neville tells Nuno to QUIT Forest tonight after furious owner Marinakis storms onto pitch

NOTTINGHAM FOREST owner Evangelos Marinakis charged onto the pitch to confront his manager Nuno Espirito Santo at the final whistle against Leicester.

Forest conceded in the last ten minutes to draw 2-2 with the Foxes – denting their Champions League aspirations.

That led Marinakis to enter the field of play as players and coaches went through their post-match handshakes.

The Greek appeared as if he would walk past Nuno initially, but he turned around and spoke to the Forest boss after he had finished his interaction with Oliver Skipp, whom he worked with at Tottenham.

Marinakis began gesticulating and appeared frustrated as he spoke to Nuno in what seemed a forceful manner.

Nuno looked a bit resigned to what he was being told, and stretched out his arms in an almost shrug.

He said a few words back to boss Marinakis, who threw his arms in the air before walking away from the Portuguese.

Gary Neville was dismayed by the behaviour, and hit out at Marinakis.

He said: “Scandalous from that Forest owner.

“Nuno should go and negotiate his exit tonight with him! The Forest fans, players and manager do not deserve that.”

However it is not the first time Marinakis has stormed the pitch following the final whistle.

In March last year he entered the pitch to speak to officials after Darwin Nunez snatched a last-gasp winner for Liverpool at the City Ground.

He was left fuming after the Reds took advantage of nine minutes stoppage time to score.

Referee Paul Tierney also stopped a Forest attack after Ibrahima Kontate went down with an apparent head injury.

Marinakis was allegedly removed by security after chasing Tierney down the tunnel.
