A report published this afternoon revealed whether Nottingham Forest intends to appeal their four-point deduction.
The Reds were relegated this afternoon after it was announced that four points will be deducted as punishment for their FFP infringement.
So, will Forest file an appeal? What else do we know about the situation? Let’s look more closely.
Whether Forest plans to challenge the four-point deduction
At the very least, there is finally some technical finality in this matter, and Forest can now focus solely on football.
According to the Guardian, the fine is a four-point deduction, two fewer than Everton’s six losses this season.
Now, the magazine has learned that Forest would appeal the sentence in the hopes of regaining some points.
The deduction sees Forest slide to 18th in the Premier League, a point behind Luton who the Reds drew with at the weekend.
Forest has the right to appeal, but now attention is needed.
The Reds are correct to appeal this one, and maybe they will get at least a handful of them back.
Forest disobeyed the rules, so consequently, he received a punishment of four points, which is hardly season-defining.
Forest have two home games coming up after the international break, and they are looking incredibly enormous.
With Luton travelling to Arsenal and Tottenham at the same time, the Reds have an instant opportunity to go back above the dotted line.
Nonetheless, some closure was required, and Forest must now return to their football emphasis.
