Nottingham Forest await decision on FFP breach as points deduction looms

What are Nottingham Forest accused of?

Nottingham Forest is under investigation for alleged breaches of profit and sustainability legislation.

The club is facing a possible points deduction after being charged in January for PSR breaches in their accounts through 2022-2023.

A hearing took place on March 7 and 8 and an announcement could be made today.

With PSR, clubs can lose £105m over three seasons.

It is currently unclear exactly how much Forest have broken the rules, but a points deduction could put the club’s continued existence in the Premier League in doubt.
