What Premier League chiefs ‘expect’ to happen as Nottingham Forest await final FFP verdict

It has been reported that Nottingham Forest will likely lose points as a result of breaking the Premier League’s financial regulations.

The Premier League charged the Reds in January for violating its profit and sustainability policies; they are currently awaiting a hearing before an impartial committee. It is anticipated that it happen during the first two weeks of March.

Everton, a Premier League opponent of Forest, has previously lost ten points for violating the profit and environmental regulations. They are waiting on the result of an appeal against the sanction right now.

According to the Premier League teams’ chief executives, Forest will likewise receive a point deduction. Nuno’s Reds are now four points above the bottom three in 16th position, one spot above Everton, and any deduction of points might send them into the Premier League relegation zone.

According to the rules, following charges being levelled, a hearing by an independent commission has to be concluded by April 8.

According to Premier League regulations, clubs can only lose up to £105 million in a rolling three-year period, or £35 million every season. This is lowered for promoted teams, therefore Forest can only lose a total of £61 million over the last three seasons—£13 million for the two Championship seasons before promotion and an additional £35 million the previous season.
