Everton and Nottingham Forest are ready to face accusations related to their violations of Premier League spending regulations. The Toffees could face additional penalties following their 10-point deduction from the previous season.

On Monday, Everton and Nottingham Forest anticipate receiving charges for violating Premier League spending regulations.

Forest is the other team said to be in danger, while Everton, who was already deducted 10 points for breaking financial fair play rules early in the season, may face additional penalties for their most recent accounting.

Mail Sport has learned that Brennan Johnson’s £47.5 million August transfer to Tottenham is expected to be a part of Forest’s defense if they are found to have violated the rules.

Because the FFP calculations are conducted over a three-year period that ends on June 30, the Johnson transaction will be taken into account for 2021–2024 as opposed to 2020–2023 as previously stated.

Clubs are allowed to lose £105 million in total over a three-year period; in their most recent financial statements, Forest stated that they had lost £45.6 million annually.

Forest claims that they could have made a about £20 million profit overall, but they would have been in a better financial position for the 2020–2023 season if they had sold Johnson to Brentford in June for around £30 million.

They contend that accepting almost £50 million for Johnson in August was preferable than accepting £30 million earlier in the summer in terms of the club’s viability.

“Promotion to the Premier League will always create challenges,” a Forest spokesman stated. The club, in accordance with Premier League regulations, tackles each of these obstacles with a clear focus on maintaining its long-term financial stability.
