Incoming Financial Fair Play bombshell will raise Man City 115 charges questions

Nottingham Forest are expected to discover their punishment later today for potentially breaking financial rules. It's a thorny subject which will inevitably mean more questions directed at Manchester City.

A hearing took place last week to decide Forest's sanction after the club were charged with a breach of the top-flight's profit and sustainability regulations earlier this year. Nuno's team, who are currently in 17th place, face the possibility of a points deduction after previously seeing Everton handed such a penalty in what was deemed a benchmark punishment.

Reports suggest that Forest will learn the outcome of that hearing today - with the rest of the Premier League, Man City included, watching on intently.

Premier League rules say that clubs can only lose up to £105 million over three years, or £35m each season. This limit is lower for teams that have been promoted within the according three-year cycle. It means Forest have only been allowed to lose £61m over the past three seasons - £13m for the two seasons they spent in the Championship before moving up, plus £35m last season. It is uncertain how much they are alleged to have gone over this limit.

Forest's case is of interest to those at the Etihad Stadium, obviously, but it is a very different situation to the one City face. Last February, the Blues were charged with 115 allegations of breaching competition rules between 2009 and 2018 by the Premier League. The club denies all charges and has vowed to clear its name.
