Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has been hit with a five-gave stadium ban for his behaviour in the tunnel following the home defeat to Fulham last month.
Marinakis was charged with misconduct by the Football Association and, although he denied the allegation, an independent regulatory commission found his behaviour after the final whistle was “improper”.
Fulham won 1-0 at the City Ground after Raul Jimenez converted a second-half penalty, awarded by referee Josh Smith after he was told to consult the pitchside monitor by VAR.
Forest were further enraged when they had late penalty claims involving Anthony Elanga and Taiwo Awoniyi turned down.
The latest punishment involving Forest comes just days after the club were fined £750,000 following a social media post in the wake of the 2-0 defeat to Everton last season.
Forest were fined by the FA for an “attack on the integrity of a match official on an unparalleled scale” after complaining about referee Stuart Atwell’s performance and suggesting he was a Luton fan.
Greek businessman Marinakis, 58, also gave a newspaper interview three weeks after the Everton defeat suggesting there was a “vendetta” against his club by referees.
