Forest might face a points deduction. Presumably due to Everton, they changed the reporting this year so clubs had to report for the end of December and any charges are to come within a month. It used to be that they had until the end of March (which is why Everton was charged this year for issues last year.
And…Everton could be looking at a points deduction for this report as well!
The issue for Forest is that they have a limit of £60m in losses allowable (because they were in the Football League a few years ago), and the sale of Johnson to Spurs was in September. I think they needed that to happen before the end of June to escape this. Honestly, it seems pretty small to hit them for this kind of thing…they should move that date for compliance to coincide with the window closing.
