Nottingham Forest Officially Appeal Four-Point Deduction For PSR Breaches
Nottingham Forest have officially appealed against their four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability rules.
Forest were handed the punishment last week after being charged in January.
The club have dropped into the Premier League's relegation zone as a result, with just nine rounds of matches to go.
Under Premier League regulations, clubs can lose a maximum of £105m over a three-season period, or £35m per campaign, before facing sanctions.
"Nottingham Forest can confirm that it has today lodged an appeal against the four-point sanction imposed by the Commission in relation to the club's breach of the Premier League's Profit & Sustainability Rules (PSR)," a club statement read.
"The club will not be making any further statement at this time."
The Premier League also confirmed the news in a statement on Monday, which read: "Nottingham Forest Football Club has appealed the decision of an independent Commission to impose a four-point deduction on the club, after its admission of a breach of the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
"The club lodged the appeal to the Chair of the Judicial Panel today, who will now appoint an Appeal Board to hear the case."
