Nottingham Forest fans: Nuno ‘will be sacked’ after Marinakis bust-up
Nottingham Forest fans are claiming Nuno Espirito Santo “will be sacked” after an on-filed bust-up with owner Evangelos Marinakis.
Nuno’s side drew 2-2 with already-relegated Leicester at the City Ground after first-half goals from Conor Coady and Morgan Gibbs-White sent them into half-time at 1-1.
The second half saw Chris Wood find the net before a late equaliser from Facundo Buonanotte meant Forest have now won just one of their last seven games.
They have now dropped to seventh in the Premier League table, leading to fears they could miss out on Europe entirely despite their initial Champions League hopes.
Following the game, all eyes were drawn to the pitch once more as Marinakis stormed on, with footage showing his clear display of anger towards the manager.
As a result, fans are fearing that the notoriously hot-headed owner could pull the trigger and remove Nuno from his position despite what has been an outstanding season.

However, the situation has become clouded after the recent on-pitch outburst.
