Nottingham Forest Appeal Fails: Four Points Deduction Stands
Nottingham Forest appeal against their four points deduction for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules has been unsuccessful. The appeal board upheld the original decision, stating it was clear and comprehensive. Forest losses breached the threshold by £34.5m leading to the deduction.
Despite earlier being in the relegation zone due to the penalty, they remain 17th with two games left. The club’s net transfer spend and financial performance were scrutinized. Everton faced a similar situation previously. Forest also faced criticism for a social media post questioning VAR integrity.
Luton midfielder Andros Townsend criticized the uncertainty surrounding sanctions and appeals, calling it a mockery of the Premier League.
