Nottingham Forest slam ‘disturbing’ Premier League decision after points deduction.
When the Premier League announced on Monday that Nottingham Forest had been docked four points for expenditure violations, the team expressed their “dismayed” reaction.
In response to the news that expenditure violations will cost them four Premier League points, Nottingham Forest has responded.
Forest will lose four points, according to the Premier League, for not adhering to its profit and sustainability regulations (PSR). Nuno Espirito Santo’s team dropped to 18th place in the standings and one point below Luton Town as a result, and Forest lamented the “disturbing effect” the ruling might have on the existing structure of the sport.
This season, Everton was originally given a 10-point deduction; however, after an appeal, the penalty was subsequently lowered to six. It is anticipated that Forest will do the same in an effort to limit the harm, and their indignant reaction at the City Ground was conveyed by Monday’s answer.

In spite of our sadness, we appreciate the commission’s decision to handle this case quickly, the club said in a statement. The club believes that charges must be settled in the same season that they are filed in order to preserve the league’s credibility.
“The Premier League’s submissions before the commission horrified us much in terms of both tone and content. This was unanticipated and damaged our faith and confidence in the Premier League after months of interaction and remarkable cooperation.
Despite the fact that Brennan Johnson’s £45 million sale to Tottenham last summer was finalized after the accounting deadline, the team had anticipated that this would serve as mitigation in their favor against a points punishment. The Premier League responded that it was a business choice and would not be enough to stop a deduction, to which Forest retorted that the transfer was delayed to maximize the sum paid for their indigenous talent.
