Nottingham Forest were hit with a Premier League charge on Monday for breaches of the league's Profit and Sustainability rules.
Along with Everton, who have fallen foul of the statutes for a second time this season, Forest could face a points penalty if they are found guilty by the independent Premier League commission.
Premier League regulations state that clubs can lose no more than £105million over a three-year period.
Since returning to the top-flight in 2022, the Midlands club have embarked on an extraordinary spending spree which might now have come back to bit them, having successfully avoided an immediate return to the Championship last term.
In just three transfer windows, 43 players have been brought in at a cost of around £300m. Let's take a look at the 10 worst additions and those that the club have managed to get right.
Forest's 10 worst transfers
Emmanuel Dennis £13m, Watford. 2
The first of many poor signings after promotion, he was being offered to clubs only months after arriving and was loaned to Istanbul Basaksehir last summer.
Matt Turner £7m, Arsenal. 4
When the ball is at his feet, every Forest fan looks terrified. Believing he was a No 1 keeper at this level was recruitment at its worst.
Odysseas Vlachodimos £4m, Benfica. 4
Signed last summer like Turner, with whom he is losing the race for a starting place. That tells you all you need to know.
Jesse Lingard Free. 1
Possibly the worst deal in the history of the club. The former England midfielder was paid more than £100,000 a week upon signing in July 2022 and delivered next to nothing.
Omar Richards £7m, Bayern Munich. 1
Was the defender injured when he joined the same month as Lingard? He has not made a single appearance and is on loan at Olympiacos.
