LONDON (AP) — Crystal Palace was charged by the English soccer federation Wednesday over a provocative fan banner targeting Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis.
The banner, making lurid unproven allegations about Marinakis’s business career, was displayed at the Palace-Forest game in the Premier League on Aug. 24.
“It’s alleged that the club failed to ensure its spectators and/or supporters … didn’t behave in an improper, offensive, abusive, insulting and/or provocative way,” the Football Association said.
Palace fans have blamed Marinakis for fueling a UEFA investigation into their club’s ownership structure that saw the 2025 FA Cup winner demoted to the third-tier Europa Conference League this season and Forest elevated into the second-tier Europa League.
Palace has been charged with misconduct and given until Tuesday to respond for the disciplinary investigation.
