Nottingham Forest could learn their fate after violating financial restrictions as early as this Friday.
This information comes from The Athletic.
So, what has been said regarding Forest’s breaches in profitability and sustainability? Let’s look more closely.
When Nottingham Forest could learn their fate
Forest may not have to wait much longer to hear out what their punishment will be.
Everton had been docked ten points earlier this season, but four of them were restored after an appeal.
The Athletic now claims that Forest could face penalty this week, with a decision likely before Friday.
Forest meet Luton on Saturday in what appears to be a huge game at this point in the season.
Losing to the Hatters appears unfathomable, and if another defeat is on the way, Nuno Espirito Santo will undoubtedly face more pressure.
Given Everton’s additional points punishment, the legitimacy of this campaign may be called into question – and Forest will be praying for the best-case scenario.
Reds require burden easing, and the consequence is positive.
Forest are in need of a lift at this point, and it appears that everything hanging over them is affecting the players on the pitch.
Having some clarity, regardless of the conclusion, could be beneficial, and Forest can then park and go on.
The Reds sorely need things to go their way, and the next three games against Luton, Crystal Palace, and Fulham will define the season.
Espirito Santo will want to know the conclusion and what Forest’s fate is.
At that time, all attention must be focused on the squad and achieving enough points to ascend the Premier League rankings.
