Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has received a five-match ban following an incident in which he was found to have spat near match officials. The Football Association successfully argued that Marinakis displayed "flagrant disrespectful behaviour" during the altercation, which took place after Forest's 1-0 defeat to Fulham at the City Ground last month. Despite denying the allegations, Marinakis was deemed guilty of improper conduct by an independent regulatory commission. The written reasons for the ban described the incident as "disgusting," highlighting the seriousness of his actions.
