Forest lodge appeal against four-point deduction

Nottingham Forest have lodged an appeal against a four-point deduction in relation to their breach of the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR), the club said on Monday.

Forest were plunged into the relegation zone last week after having four points deducted for breaking financial rules in the 2022-23 season, leaving them in 18th place on 21 points, one point below the safety zone.

Forest said last week they were extremely disappointed with the decision and had seven days to appeal.

Earlier this season, Everton had their points deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules reduced to six points from 10 after an appeal.
