The four-point deduction stemmed from Forest exceeding the permitted loss threshold of £61 million by a significant £34.5 million
EXCLUSIVE: Northern senators move against Akpabio over alleged N4trn budget paddingClimate change, extreme weather, conflict exacerbate global food crisisEXCLUSIVE: Northern senators move against Akpabio over alleged N4trn budget paddingClimate change, extreme weather, conflict exacerbate global food crisis, including Nigerian stars Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina, now face a fight for Premier League survival after receiving a four-point deduction.
“Nottingham Forest was referred to an independent Commission on 15 January, following an admission by the club that it had breached the relevant PSR threshold of £61 million by £34.5 million. The threshold was lower than £105 million as the club spent two seasons of the assessment period in the EFL Championship,” revealed the official Premier League website.
It is no different from last season for Forest when Awoniyi effectively saved them from relegation by scoring six goals in their last four games of the season to propel his team to safety. Article 14.23 in the statement said, “Taking into account the arguments made by Forest, the Commission notes that its breach is serious and its position on sporting advantage has been dealt with above. The four-point sanction is not to punish Forest so much as it is to be fair to the other clubs; to give the public confidence that when a club invests as Forest did to compete in the Premier League, it still needs to comply with the PSR threshold for losses.
