It's comparing apples to oranges (and I say this as a Forest fan). Forest/Everton based on their accounts were in breach of FFP for the period being assessed and so have been dealt with accordingly. Chelsea weren't in breach of FFP for the same period, so no charge brought to them (but likely to be in breach for the next period, so if the rules don't change again, expect a points deduction for them in about a years time). Man City is a different kettle of fish. They've not breached FFP, but the accusations brought against them is years and years of accounting fraud, so those accounts which presents them as being FFP compliant, are in fact misstated. It's a far more complex case, will require a great deal of accounting forensics to determine the actual truth, and just by the sheer magnitude of the charges and amount of legal resource City will throw at it to defend themselves, no one should be expecting a resolution to their case anytime soon.

Is there anyone who is clearer after the financial expert has explained the rules? Whatever the rules are, they make no sense. There is no structural matrix for breaches? How are there rules then?

What about your "guilty" plea.....?

There is a reason forest had to recruit. Only Jack Colback and Steve Cook had premier league experience at the start of last season. Over the last few windows forest have lost 40+ players too. Yes it was excessive but I'd rather be excessive than competing against Derby's 11 points that season.

Count yourself lucky... It still kept you up for a season and earned you a boat-load of cash..... Even if you get relegated this season you'll still have earned a shed-load of cash thanks to a 2 year EPL run and 3 years of parachute payments. If you've learned from your mistakes you'll simply dust yourselves down, become a better run club and go again.

So sick of listening to crybaby fans phone up and complain about rules that were agreed by their own club.

80% of clubs work within the rules. Forest didn’t… Take your medicine, 4 points is a bargain. Prem wanted 8 but let you off for quick and helpful honest cooperation.

@@soapboxparishrecordings5287 a fair assessment, my point was the rules were somewhat harsher for us being the value of the Forest squad compared to the other newly promoted teams. £12m v £151m - didn’t really stand a chance.

As a Forest fan I don’t understand why this is being debated. We broke the rules we have got a punishment in which the severity is the only topic for debate , and that is down to a personal interpretation based on reading the document and forming an opinion. Marinakas took a gamble that with the spending we would be out of sight of the relegation zone , and therefore a fine or a potential other punishment would be factored into the club thinking. I’m not sure he expected a points deduction pre Everton’s case and it’s ended up making us look even more silly than we have with the absurd amount of signings. The argument of if the rules are fair is irrelevant to this at the moment. To bring about change you don’t go and break the current rules and then ask for change. You Follow them and follow the process the league has in place and it’s clear there’s an appetite to make this change. We could have done our business very differently and I think have ultimately ended up punishing ourselves due to our panicking scatter gun approach and no very real threat of relegation. I wonder if we will go up for sale if we go down??

I doubt it. Marinakis enjoys being the owner of Forest and he enjoys rubbing shoulders with the other big businesspeople. Even if we go down he will pour everything into getting promoted again so he can go into those lucrative board rooms again imo. I think everyone agrees really. We broke the rules. We deserve to be punished. But the rules meant we were going to be punished either way.

Disagree completely. The essence of the laws must be questioned to distinguish their purpose. On reflection, Forest were punished for ensuring their club was more sustainable by refusing the first few offers for BJ. By the word of the law we were wrong as this fell in another accounting period, but by the essence of the law we were in spirit of sustainability. I struggle to believe you think that Forest would be doing the right thing by taking an earlier deal which made them less sustainable financially for BJ.

@@sdal5427 I don’t think they should have taken an early deal. But I also don’t think we need to waste money on some players moved on within 6-12 months of being at the club. We can try and paper over the cracks in the rules which I agree need to be changed and discussed . However we also had the opportunity to decide the business we did and surely you can’t believe every signing we made was out of a necessity. The argument would be different if we needed 30 players and need to buy players such as sangare at approx 30m price tag we spent. But we didn’t. As an example on that signing alone we had 3/4 players competing for that position and 2 that have played more football for us than him since he signed. Please don’t interrupt it as me agreeing with the rules as I don’t I think they are geared to keep the big 6 elite and that’s not right. But equally I believe we could have been more savvy with signings, and business such as taking a shirt sponsor. And challenged the rule in conversations with the premier league without the need to put ourselves in a position warranting punishment.

@@sdal5427 Thats a ridiculous argument. Forest didn't fall foul of the rules because they held out for an extra £17m for Johnson.

I mean christ.

4 points isn't enough. They broke the rules, they've known this was coming for years and years before they got into the prem and they wouldn't have been in the prem if they didn't break the rule..

Simon Jordan is absolutely wrong at the end here. Refer to IC written reasons: 12.97 The Commission is concerned with the trend leading up to the PSR breach in June 2023. It notes that Forest was compliant in the EFL, but then invested heavily once in the Premier League and breached the PSR. That was a negative trend. "Compliant in the EFL" - we did not breach any EFL rules.

The rules being set up to protect Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal is what is causing so much grief. You cannot get promoted into the premier league and not spend money if you want to be competitive. I am watching our cast offs do their absolute best playing for Sheffield United but they are not good enough. Jack Robinson's a great lad but he isn't Premier League. We had to spend money to compete and this is out punishment. If Ipswich go up next season then they will also need to heavily invest otherwise they too will not be competitive with their lack of parachute payments. It's getting more and more difficult got teams to do "a Leicester" because the structures penalise them for trying.

The optics are terrible, the big clubs, City and Chelsea are brought to task kicking and screaming whereas the smaller have their consequences applied immediately.
