Nottingham Forest have reportedly been handed a four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Regulations .
The Reds were charged with breaching PSR in January along with relegation rivals Everton. Forest faced an independent commission last Thursday and Friday as they began their defence against that charge. Rules state Premier League clubs are only allowed to make a maximum loss of £105 million across a rolling three-year period, or £35m each season. For promoted teams that is reduced, meaning Forest were restricted to losses of £61m for the last three campaigns - £13m for the two seasons in the Championship prior to promotion, plus £35m last season.
And it has now been extensively reported that Forest have been deducted four points after admitting they had breached PSR. In their defence, the club have claimed extenuating circumstances are behind the breach due to the sale of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham last summer. Forest are likely to appeal the decision.
The deduction sees the Reds drop below Luton Town and into the relegation zone leaving them a point from safety with nine games left.4 Aston Villa 5611 Chelsea 3917 Luton Town 22Will Forest stay in the Premier League?
