Nottingham Forest has been hit with a four-point deduction for breaking the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules, leading to their relegation into a precarious position.
Following the deduction, Nottingham Forest now trails behind Luton Town by just one point, putting them in 17th place.
The Premier League is set to release an official statement on the issue.
In response, Nottingham Forest is likely to lodge an appeal against the charges of financial misconduct during the January transfer window.
While the club acknowledged the breach, they argued that there were mitigating circumstances surrounding the sale of forward Brennan Johnson the previous summer.
The news of the points deduction may affect the team’s morale and their battle to avoid relegation, which is now even more challenging.
