David Ornstein has now provided an update on Nottingham Forest’s appeal about their four-point deduction.
The Reds were penalized of points for violating profitability and sustainability criteria.
That landed them in serious relegation trouble, and Forest’s future remains uncertain.
Nuno Espirito Santo will face Chelsea at home and Burnley away, with one more win likely required.
If the Clarets lose to Tottenham and West Ham defeat Luton on Saturday, Forest will be practically secure, barring a mathematical miracle.
The Reds were hoping to recoup some points to smooth their way to the finish line, and Ornstein has now provided an update.
David Ornstein reveals the conclusion of the Nottingham Forest appeal.
An story in The Athletic stated that the club’s appeal was unsuccessful.
Forest still have work to do, as the gap between them and Luton is currently three points.
The Reds would still have to go some distance to catch Burnley, but it is the Hatters who are creating the most fear.
Now that the club knows where they stand, they can concentrate on winning one more match.
The outcome of the appeal is not surprise.
This isn’t surprising given that Forest has been on the wrong end of some terrible refereeing this season.
We believe that someone has it in for Forest, and this consequence is not surprising.
If Forest had recovered a point or two, it would have been a significant advantage, but that will no longer be the case.
The atmosphere should be fantastic when Chelsea visits Forest this Saturday, and perhaps the Reds will get the win they desperately need.
