In a move that’s rocked English football, Nottingham Forest—the two-time European champs—have been slapped with a four-point deduction for breaching Premier League financial rules. 💸 The penalty plunges them deep into the relegation zone, sparking questions about their survival in England’s top flight. But how did we get here?
The club admitted overspending by £34.5 million, blowing past the league’s £61 million loss limit. While Everton’s earlier 10-point penalty (later reduced to six) set a precedent, Forest’s early cooperation with investigators helped soften their punishment. Still, fans are furious, calling the decision a 'hammer blow' to their season. 🛑
Now, the big question: Can Forest claw their way out of the drop zone with just nine games left? Or is this the start of a chaotic relegation showdown? With tensions high and the league’s financial rules under scrutiny, this drama is far from over. ⏳
