‘Unintended friction’: Clattenburg leaves referee analyst role at Forest
Former referee said he had become ‘more hindrance than help’Clattenburg warned by FA following his criticism of officiating
Mark Clattenburg has stood down from his role as a referee analyst at Nottingham Forest, admitting he had become “more of a hindrance than a help” to the club.
Clattenburg has been at the centre of two major controversies involving the club since he took on the advisory role in February, first speaking out over a drop ball incident in a match against Liverpool and then criticising the officiating in Forest’s game against Everton on 21 April. On Friday he was also formally warned by the Football Association in relation to comments made about the latter match.
