Notts Forest expected to learn outcome of FFP

Nottingham Forest are expected to learn the outcome of their Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) charge early this week. The club were charged in January after confirming they were in breach of the rules for the assessment period ending 2022-23.

Forest are facing a possible points deduction, which could see them drop into the Premier League's bottom three. The six-point deduction Everton received for similar breaches - reduced from 10 on appeal - is regarded by some as a benchmark punishment.

Forest, who have won just once in 2024, drew at relegation rivals Luton on Saturday and currently sit immediately above the drop zone in 17th place, three points ahead of the Hatters.

Nottingham Forest have been docked four points for breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules, BBC Sport understands.

The immediate loss of points mean Forest drop below Luton Town into the Premier League's relegation zone.

They are the second top-flight team to be penalised for PSR breaches after Everton lost 10 points in November, which was reduced to six on appeal.

Forest, who are likely to appeal the ruling, had a hearing on 7 and 8 March.

Premier League clubs can lose £105m over three seasons - £35m per campaign - but, because Forest spent two years of the assessment period in the Championship, their maximum loss was only permitted to be £61m.

The league's rules state any appeals process should "conclude no later than and if possible some time before 24 May", five days after the final day of this season.
