• Marinakis was given five-match ban last week
• Written reasons for ban outline ‘disgusting’ incident

Evangelos Marinakis was banned for five matches after the Football Association successfully argued the Nottingham Forest owner had spat towards match officials in a “flagrant display of disrespectful behaviour”.

Marinakis, who denied the charge, was found guilty of improper conduct by an independent regulatory commission over the flashpoint that occurred after Forest’s 1-0 Premier League defeat by Fulham at the City Ground last month.
