Gary Neville won’t be anywhere near the City Ground for the final game of the Premier League season on Sunday.
That’s because Nottingham Forest have banned the Sky Sports pundit from their home ground, talkSPORT understands.
Forest made the request to the broadcaster and cited fears over a potential hostile reception for Neville as the reason why.
Neville previously labelled Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis ‘scandalous’ after he stormed on the pitch to confront manager Nuno Esperito Santo following the 2-2 draw against Leicester City.
“Scandalous that from Forest owner,” Neville wrote on X.
“Nuno should go and negotiate his exit tonight with him!
“The Forest fans, players and manager do not deserve that.”
A commentary team for Sky will still be present at the City Ground for the crunch clash, set to kick off at 4pm.
However, Sky will present the match from their studios in west London rather than from Forest’s home ground, as had been intended.
