Nottingham Forest will have to wait a little bit longer to find out for sure how many points they will lose for breaking financial laws.
Due to their violation of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules, the Reds were punished four points last month. Following that announcement, the club issued a furious statement confirming they were going to appeal the sentence.It is understood that the club’s appeal hearing will start the week of April 22. It implies that the story may yet go on for a while.
Earlier this week, Forest’s head coach Nuno Espirito Santo called the PSR scenario at the bottom of the table “a mess.” After Everton was fined two points for a second breach, he made these remarks.
Earlier in the campaign, the Toffees were docked ten points; however, this was later reduced to six on appeal. They’ve said they’ll file an appeal of their second sentence.
Five days after the last round of top-flight matches, on May 24, the Premier League has set a backup date to settle the claims of both teams. After the final game of the season, the relegation scenario can still be up in the air because both teams are fighting for their lives.
“We, along with Everton, have high expectations, and the other clubs are uncertain about what lies ahead this season.” We need to find quick solutions for each of these issues.”
Following Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Forest is one point above the bottom three. The next Sunday, they go to Goodison Park to take on Everton.
