‘Extremely disappointed’ – Nottingham Forest slam Premier League over four-point deduction with angry statement

Nottingham Forest have launched a scathing attack on the Premier League with an angry statement after they were hit with a four-point deduction.

Forest have dropped into the relegation zone after the Premier League’s decision to punish the club for breaching profitability and sustainability rules.

They are the second side to face punishment this season after Everton were slapped with a 10-point deduction, which dropped to six after an appeal.

Forest, who are likely to launch their own appeal, have been left absolutely furious and claim financial rules will ‘destroy mobility in the football pyramid’.
