Nottingham Forest, who are fighting to stay in the top flight of British football, have been handed four points for failing to comply with the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules.

Nottingham Forest received four penalty points and dropped into the relegation zone

Premier League clubs must ensure a balance between income and expenditure, and the rules of profitability and stability must be strictly adhered to.

A few months after Everton were penalized for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play (first 10 points, then 6 after an appeal), it was Nottingham Forest’s turn to experience the Premier League’s non-compliance with their own eyes. .

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the squad at the City Ground received four points and were relegated.

The club has the right to appeal, in which case all hearings will take place no later than April 15, with a final verdict before the end of the Premier League season.

In particular, Forest were punished for losing too many last season when they returned to the Premier League after a long layoff. No less than 42 players arrived at the City Ground, and the club received very little from sales.
