Evangelos Marinakis' reaction to the Morgan Gibbs-White transfers saga has emerged as Nottingham Forest consider legal action against Tottenham.
Gibbs-White has attracted plenty of interest following his performances for Forest last season.
He shone as he helped his side secure a top half finish in the Premier League table.
Manchester City were briefly linked with Gibbs-White as they viewed him as a potential replacement for Kevin De Bruyne.

But a move away from the City Ground appears to be on the cards as Spurs look to trigger the player's £60 million release clause.
However, Spurs' approach has angered Forest, who are considering legal action.
Forest are believed to be looking at whether a specific confidentiality agreement in the £60 million release clause in Gibbs-White's contract has been breached.

It is understood Forest insist they have not given their rivals permission to speak to Gibbs-White and are willing to go to whatever lengths required to stop the transfer from happening.
Clubs are not allowed to talk to players under contract with another team unless they have permission, with a previous ruling setting a precedent.
Spurs are aware of the situation but are still hopeful of securing the 25-year-old's services.
According to TBR Football, owner Marinakis is 'furious' over how the situation has played out and 'wants answers'.

Per the report, Forest are unlikely to prevent Gibbs-White's transfer to Spurs, with the England international's camp expecting a move to the North London outfit this summer.
"Marinakis is furious, he is so angry this came out and he wants answers," Graeme Bailey said of the situation.
"The club have spoken to lawyers and obviously someone has broken a confidence agreement somewhere."
Gibbs-White joined Forest from Wolves in the summer of 2022 in a deal worth up to £42.5 million.

He has made 118 appearances across all competitions, scoring 18 goals.
