Forest Hit with Record £750,000 Fine for Social Media Post

The club faces consequences for questioning VAR official Stuart Attwell's integrity after a controversial match against Everton.

Nottingham Forest was fined £750,000 for a social media post implying bias by VAR official Stuart Attwell.
The post followed a 2-0 loss to Everton in April, criticizing three overruled penalty calls.
Forest's post suggested Attwell, a Luton fan, should not have officiated due to potential conflict of interest.
The FA sought a £1 million fine, citing the post as an unprecedented attack on a match official's integrity.
Forest plans to appeal, arguing the fine is disproportionate and maintains the post remains online.
