Mark Clattenburg has resigned from his role as a consultant to the Nottingham Forest board after admitting it had become ‘more hindrance than help’ to the club.
The former Premier League referee took up the position in February and it was intended he would help players and staff understand better the workings of VAR and how decisions are made.
However, Clattenburg’s presence has courted controversy amid a series of key decisions that have gone against the team. There is a worry that his involvement and Forest’s decision to seek such guidance from an ex referee has angered the PGMOL and, as a result, has had a negative impact.
