BREAKING: Another EPL club docked points!

Another Premier League club has now officially been docked points for financial breaching.  

Nottingham Forest now find themselves in the relegation zone after being handed a four-point deduction for violating the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR). 

"An independent commission has applied an immediate four-point deduction to Nottingham Forest FC for a breach of the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSRs) for the period ending Season 2022/23," the Premier League confirmed in a statement.

"Nottingham Forest was referred to an independent commission on January 15, following an admission by the club that it had breached the relevant PSR threshold of £61m by £34.5m. The threshold was lower than £105m as the club spent two seasons of the assessment period in the EFL Championship.

"The case was heard in accordance with new Premier League rules, which provide an expedited timetable for PSR cases to be resolved in the same season the complaint is issued.

"The independent commission determined the sanction following a two-day hearing this month, at which the club had the opportunity to detail a range of mitigating factors. The commission found that the club had demonstrated 'exceptional co-operation' in its dealings with the Premier League throughout the process."

The Tricky Trees' punishment comes after Everton had 10 points deducted in November for PSR breaches.

That was, however, reduced to six points after the club appealed the decision.
