Nottingham Forest: Mark Clattenburg leaves analyst role with Premier League club

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg leaves his role with Nottingham Forest, saying his position had "become more of a hindrance than help" to the club.

I bet he's earned a nice little tickle for doing bugger all.

Very on-brand for Marinakis to hire a former ref and not actually know the role the hiring was for.
I assume he thought Clattenburg would be mates with all the rest and could grease a few wheels to get decisions to go Forest's way.

Could become a useful term on the Mix.

Made a bit of money, paid to watch some football and wrote a statement. Not a bad few weeks work.

He did more on Gladiators, and that's saying something!

Isn't he one of Forests players?

 

[Wonder Boyo]

He couldn't even do that properly. Always used to emphasise the wrong words.

Instead of saying:
Contender A, you will go on my FIRST whistle.
Contender B, you will go on my SECOND whistle.

He always put the emphasis on WHISTLE for both contenders. He only had one job.

He should be named Mark Clatterbung!

Thank god for that some Gen Z'er would have gone off the scale seeing that

Forest, the entertaining club that keeps on giving!

Good job you preserved in by quoting!

Just like Gladiators then....

There is no doubt in my mind that Nottingham Forest employed Mark Clattenburg hoping officials would favour Forest. They didn’t, so he had to go.

As an advisor he can only advise the club? Self explanatory really

 

[epic]

Shame because as a boy it was always the club he wanted to advise !!

Going by the comments he made when appointed, that sounds like exactly what Marinakis wanted much like when he hired refs back in Greece.

It's not what you know but who you know....

Beat me to it

Almost as successful in that as he was in his refereeing career, then....

"What the **** do you do, Mark?"

"Make sure my check clears, you dumb ****."

"**** you."

"**** you."

Fin.

Shambles of a club.

Come on Everton do the sensible thing and roll over tonight. You know it makes sense.

Very similar then to the word 'S****horpe' you can call your best friend, and your worst enemy it.

Very true, you Malaki.

 

[GoldenHorseshoe]

You daft S****horpe.

That's the friendly admonishment,

 

[crocos]

With due apologies to the Mods ... I think the word some folk are looking for here is "malakas", not "malaki". Or it certainly used to be.

Note it is not necessarily an offensive word at all and all depends on context and relationships - you'd greet your mate with "Giassou malakas; ti eginai?" ["Hello me old mucker; how's things going?"]. As well as curse your worst enemy with the same term.

A related word, brilliant but not really translatable in its full glory & deliciousness, is "malakias"; "malakas" is the person, while "malakias" is the collective noun for "a load of rubbish" or translation as one wishes [a load of wink, some might say].

"Ti malakias" is one of my lifetime favourite terms - you can really make it ring. Think "What a crock of s**t" and amplify it. But again, not always directly offensive or hostile.

Greek has some top earthy rude language, let me say. This is a particular favourite of mine. Uttered with a flamboyant double-handed downwards swipe to one's "bits". A chat about say our good neighbours the Boggies would by necessity include many of these gestures, for instance, demonstrating their utter irrelevance to anyone but the terminally insane.

Not sure if you’re a gamer but one of the Assassins Creed games is set in Ancient Greece and the word malaka gets used a lot.

Malaka is one of the great insults/terms of endearment.
