Forest broke league’s profit and sustainability rulesAppeal could result in penalty being increased
Nottingham Forest have appealed against their four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR).
The club admitted surpassing the permitted spending over a three-year period by £34.5m but believe the punishment is excessive. An independent commission concluded that Forest merited being docked six points but reduced this by two because the club had admitted the breach and fully cooperated. As a result of the deduction, Forest dropped into the relegation zone during the international break, one point below Luton.
