Meanwhile, the Premier League have launched a probe into the bitter row betwen the Midlands club and refereeing chiefs.“I think the statement was put out five minutes after the game, which points to a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. “I know they’ve been complaining most of the season about some bad refereeing performances, and I get that.“I just think the speed of the reaction has taken the class away from what they could’ve done as a club.
“Forest are blaming the referees and VAR for their poor results. When you have to issue a second and third statement, you’ve probably got the first two wrong.“I don’t think it’s a very good way to handle the situation, but the chairman is obviously a very fiery character.
