Marinakis Sues Palace Over Fan Banner | Nottingham News

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is suing Crystal Palace after fans unfurled a provocative banner in August depicting him with a gun to his own player Morgan Gibbs-White’s head — complete with text denying any involvement in blackmail, match-fixing, or corruption. Marinakis claims the banner was defamatory, and while the FA previously charged Palace for failing to control offensive fan behavior, this case now heads to the High Court. The drama deepens: Gibbs-White nearly left Forest for Spurs last summer, and Palace’s own UEFA ban — which relegated them to the Conference League — ironically paved the way for Forest’s Europa League spot under Marinakis.
