Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness believes Mark Clattenburg could be banned and fined after he called Stuart Attwell a Luton Town fan.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – claimed that the authorities will come down hard on Clattenburg.
The former Premier League referee is now working as a consultant at Nottingham Forest, and accused VAR Attwell of supporting the Hatters after a series of Forest penalty appeals against Everton were turned down.
The Toffees defeated Forest 2-0 on Sunday (21 April), with the latter taking to Twitter after the match to share their anger at the lack of decisions at Goodison Park.

As reported by Sky Sports (22 April), Clattenburg doubled down on calling Attwell a Luton fan, with pundit Gary Neville urging the consultant to step down from his role at Forest.
Wyness believes the former referee could be in big trouble after his actions, reminding clubs of their responsibility to handle themselves in a proper manner.
