      Forest to appeal points deduction

      Nottingham Forest will appeal their four-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules.

      The Garibaldi Red were handed their points deduction last week but the club's legal team has reportedly viewed the punishment as 'excessive' according to The Athletic.

      The club had an overspend of just under £35 million for a three-year period which led to their four-point deduction last week – that was down from a potential of six points due to co-operation.

      Forest were given a week to decide whether or not they would appeal that judgement, with the club now in the relegation zone. Now the club will do that while outlining their grievances with the decision.

      On the pitch, Forest are in need of any potential point having just won one Premier League game in 2024. The club currently sit in 17th place, one point behind Luton Town with nine games left to play.

      As a football fan, I am disappointed to hear that Nottingham Forest will be appealing their four-point deduction. It's frustrating to see the club's legal team view the punishment as 'excessive' when they clearly overspent by such a large amount. It's important for clubs to follow profit and sustainability rules to ensure fairness in the league. On top of that, Forest's current position in the relegation zone makes it even more concerning. I hope the club will take responsibility for their actions and

      As a Forest fan, it's disappointing to see our club facing a four-point deduction. However, I believe the punishment is excessive and the club's legal team is right to appeal. Overspending is a common issue in football and it's unfair to penalize us when we've already cooperated. We desperately need points on the pitch and I hope the appeal is successful.

      As a football fan, I am disappointed to hear that Nottingham Forest will be appealing their four-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules. It seems like they are trying to avoid taking responsibility for their overspend and are prioritizing their position in the league over fair play. It's frustrating to see a club with such a rich history resorting to these tactics.
