Leeds are preparing legal action against Nottingham Forest with a surprising new financial twist.
Senior Leeds United officials are prepared to demand compensation if Forest is found to have violated Profit and Sustainability Rules, according to Football Insider sources.
Forest has been charged with violating financial regulations by allegedly exceeding its authorized losses over a three-year period.
According to Football Insider, Forest have put themselves at risk of a points deduction because they were only allowed to lose £61 million over the previous three seasons.
According to the Premier League’s new fast-track procedures, Forest expect to know the outcome of their case before the end of the 2023-24 season.
Leeds suffered relegation to the Championship in the 2022-23 season – the same campaign that Forest and Everton allegedly broke spending rules.
The Whites finished in 19th place while Everton and Forest narrowly survived in 17th and 16th respectively.
