Yes - now in relegation zone
They will appeal

Looks to me as though they have a decent case too

 

[Marvanelli]

These deductions and the quality (or lack of) teams at the bottom just make it even more frustrating at the fact we didn't get promoted last season.

The total amount of points needed to stay up could be as low as 31/32.

We missed a huge opportunity there.

I'm not saying we'd have stayed up - but it would have probably been the best opportunity for a long time.

Absolutely no sympathy for them, they knowingly breached the spending rules with their d*ckhead owner sanctioning the signing of 31 players in a season.

Where is Chelsea's punishment then.

Where is Chelsea's punishment then.

Chelsea didn’t breach the limits last year. Only Everton and Forest did. Chelsea’s problem is that they probably will this year unless they manage to offload a substantial amount of value by June 30th.

 

[TeaCider]

Luton's 89th minute equaliser could be massive now.

Without it, Forest would still be safe.

 

[Rofesleg]

Gives a glimmer of hope to Burnley as well. Only 5 points from safety now.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

Why only 4 when Everton got 6?

 

[TeessideCleveland]

And when is Everton's next points deduction - think I read by 8th April?
If it's the same breach then will it be another 6 - or 4 like Forest?

Will be very annoying if there are clubs continually getting relegated due to points deductions. We want **** teams to be relegated.

 

[Heine_Otto]

Shambles. Teams at the bottom not really knowing what they need to do to stay up, due to appeals loitering.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

As the charges were announced on the same day why are they not announcing the penalty on the same day?
The uncertainty affects multiple teams

They could try winning

As they the charges were announced on the same day why are they not announcing the penalty on the same day?

Because they are investigated as 2 separate cases.

 

[Billy69_uk]

the whole governance of the game including FFP is just not fit for purpose anymore.

The sooner the "big" clubs naff off to get their snouts in the trough of the proposed super league or whatever, the better off the rest of football will be.

 

[Alzi]

And yet still not even a slap on the wrist for Man City.

 

[TeessideCleveland]

p0o

I was sat doing something else and I seem to have put the above without realising, but it seems quite appropriate to the whole saga

 

[Ayresome_park]

Forest will still stay up, looking at Lutons fixtures, they won't get another 10 point this season.
