00:00 Nottingham Forest have announced that they are to appeal their four-point deduction for
00:07 breaching Premier League profit and sustainability rules.
00:10 The points deduction, which has seen Forest drop into the Premier League's relegation
00:14 zone in 18th place and one point behind Luton Town, came about because an independent commission
00:21 found that the club had breached the threshold of ÂŁ61m worth of losses in the 2022/23 season
00:29 by ÂŁ34.5m.
00:31 Initially, the club were set to be deducted six points but this was reduced to four because
00:38 of their early plea and cooperation.
00:41 However, in their most recent statement announcing their appeal, Forest made clear that they
00:46 were extremely disappointed with the decision to deduct them points and that the decision
00:50 raises issues of concern for all aspirant clubs.
00:55 the case should be settled before the end of the season.
