Clattenburg had a hand in Forest issuing several statements accusing referees and match officials of bias.

Clattenburg told Radio 5Live: "No (role was not a success), because if you look it caused more problems than it did good.

"There were certain things that we implemented within the club, certain ways to give a sporting edge to Nottingham Forest

“But there seemed to be a huge outcry from certain people, certain bodies, certain companies. It was just highlighted week in, week out."
