"Nottingham Forest's Four-Point Deduction: Impact on Relegation Battle and Club Ownership Blame"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by ESPN
Nottingham Forest has been deducted four points in the Premier League for breaching the Profit and Sustainability rules, moving them into the relegation zone. This is the second points deduction in the league this season, following Everton's earlier penalty. The independent commission's report stated that Forest's charge warranted a six-point penalty but was reduced to four points after mitigation, including an early plea and cooperation with the investigation. Forest expressed disappointment with the decision, citing exceptional cooperation with the Premier League throughout the process. The club was charged in January for breaching financial regulations over the period ending in the 2022-23 season.
