Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis expressed visible frustration during his team’s 5-0 thrashing by Fulham, culminating in reports that he tossed his ticket into a nearby bush at Craven Cottage. Forest’s struggles persist, having managed only one victory in their last 11 games, causing them to slide down to 16th place in the Premier League.
The comprehensive victory by Marco Silva’s Fulham squad, with braces from Raul Jimenez and Alex Iwobi along with a goal from Tom Cairney, has heightened pressure on Forest’s manager, Steve Cooper. Marinakis, evidently displeased with the on-field performance, left his seat prematurely, and an amusing twist followed as a fan claimed to have discovered Marinakis’ discarded pass in a garden bush. Social media buzzed with reactions, with some finding humor in the situation and others expressing empathy.
The defeat compounds Marinakis’ recent footballing woes, as his Greek side Olympiacos also suffered a humiliating 5-0 loss to Freiburg in the Europa League. The owner’s actions highlight the mounting challenges faced by the club’s management, prompting fans to question the team’s direction.
