The reason for the ban is Neville's recent comments about Forest's owner, Evangelos Marinakis. Neville had criticized Marinakis for his behavior during a match against Leicester City, where Marinakis confronted the team's manager, Nuno. However, Marinakis has clarified that he was actually checking on a player's injury at the time.

Neville had been scheduled to work as a commentator for Sky Sports, but has now been told that he will not be allowed access to the stadium. In response, Neville has decided to withdraw from the coverage of the match.

Neville had posted on social media that he was disappointed with Marinakis' behavior during the match, saying it was "scandalous" and that Nuno should negotiate his exit with the owner. The incident has sparked a lot of debate among football fans.
