So if a Forest supporter criticised Marinarkis would he ban them as well.
There are, sadly, plenty of examples of owners banning fans for expressing opinions they disagreed with.

16th or 17th appears to be enough to get into Europe.

Which was clearly the intention of UEFA expanding the competitions and qualification criteria. Imagine not having massive teams like Man U or Spurs playing in the “champions” league.
