Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has already made certain measures in case the team is demoted to the Championship.
Forest has had a tumultuous campaign this season, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s team still fighting for survival.
With only four games remaining in the Premier League season, Forest is only one point ahead of the drop zone.
Luton Town are the final team in the bottom three heading into the weekend, and the Hatters have a far better fixture than Forest.
Nuno’s men will face reigning champions Manchester City, while Luton face Wolves.
However, the only major topic of conversation at the City Ground right now is referee performance.
Forest have been extremely badly done by this season, and the weekend’s defeat to Everton was no exception.
However, Evangelos Marinakis appears to have a strategy in place if Forest fails in the coming weeks.
Nottingham Forest’s current plans if they are demoted
Forest has had a really difficult season in terms of refereeing decisions.
The list of decisions that Forest believe have obviously gone against them this season is long, and there were three on the weekend against Everton.
After losing 2-0 to the Toffees, the club felt obligated to make a big statement in the aftermath of the game.
And that statement has sparked widespread criticism in the media, with Forest perhaps facing a fine.
The Athletic reports that Marinakis intends to take legal action if the club is relegated.
The club plainly believes that enough decisions have gone against them over the course of the season to play a substantial role in their likely relegation.
It is also said that the club has a strong sense that the world is against them following the VAR verdicts and the four-point deduction for violating profitability and sustainability criteria.
Howard Webb now has a definite approach for dealing with Nottingham Forest.
The encounter on Merseyside left Forest feeling extremely badly done by, prompting a strong reaction from the club towards Howard Webb.
According to reports, the head of the PGMOL will meet with the Forest’s owner or minority stakeholder Sokratis Kominakis this week to try to settle things down at the City Ground.
Forest is even alleged to have requested audio recordings of the rulings that they believe went against them over the weekend.
Whatever the outcome of the meeting, it is evident that referee Simon Hooper will have a lot of pressure on Sunday to make the right choices.
