A blow for Nottingham Forest! The club has been hit with a four-point deduction for breaking Premier League financial rules.
This penalty pushes them into the relegation zone, just one point behind 17th-placed Luton Town.
An official announcement from the Premier League is expected soon.
Forest plans to appeal the decision, citing special circumstances related to the sale of forward Brennan Johnson last summer.
While they acknowledge the financial breach, they believe there were extenuating factors.
The points deduction is a major setback for Forest’s fight to stay in the Premier League. It could have a negative impact on team morale as they navigate this increasingly difficult situation.
