Nottingham Forest's Appeal Rejected, Four-Point Deduction Stands

The Premier League upholds the penalty for financial rule breaches, impacting the club's relegation battle.

Nottingham Forest's appeal against a four-point deduction for exceeding financial loss limits was denied by an independent commission.
The club's penalty remains after being found in breach of the Premier League's Profitability and Sustainability Rules, exceeding permitted losses by £34.5 million.
Forest, currently 17th in the league, faces a critical relegation fight with only two games left in the season.
The decision benefits relegation rivals like Burnley, complicating Forest's efforts to secure league safety.
Earlier this season, Everton had a similar points deduction reduced on appeal, highlighting the inconsistency in penalty enforcement.
