Nottingham Forest has been handed a four-point deduction for overspending. The sanction drops the team into the Premier League’s relegation zone with two months left in the season. Forest was found to have breached the league’s profitability and sustainability regulations. Forest went above the threshold in the assessment period ending in 2022-23.

Nottingham Forest’s Moussa Niakhate holds the ball after scoring his side’s opening goal during the English Premier League soccer match between Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest at the Villa Park stadium in Birmingham, England, Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024. Nottingham Forest’s head coach Nuno Espirito Santo arrives for the English FA Cup fifth round soccer match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United at City ground in Nottingham, England, Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2024.

Forest was found to have breached the league’s profitability and sustainability regulations, which typically allow clubs to lose a maximum of 105 million pounds over a three-year period or face sanctions. Forest’s assessment period ended in 2022-23 and therefore included two seasons when the club was in the second-tier Championship. For that reason, Forest was permitted losses of up to 61 million pounds in its first year back in the Premier League last season and the club went above the threshold by 34.5 million pounds , having made an unprecedented 21 offseason signings at a cost of $160 million following promotion.

The team managed by Nuno Espirito Santo fell from 17th to 18th — one of the three relegation places in the league — and onto 21 points with nine games remaining. Luton, on 22 points, climbed out of the relegation zone as a result.
