Everton and Nottingham Forest are charged with Profitability and Sustainability Rules breaches for the 2022/23 season, potentially resulting in a minimum six-point deduction. Everton, appealing a ten-point penalty, could drop to 19th place, while Forest, currently in 15th, might face relegation troubles.In a statement, Everton expressed dissatisfaction with Premier League rules lacking guidelines preventing sanctions for repeated breaches.

Forest acknowledged the charges, pledging full cooperation. Premier League rules allow clubs to incur £105 million in permitted losses over three consecutive top-flight seasons. Forest, spending the first two in the Championship, faced a £61 million restriction. The likelihood of a six-point deduction stems from the previous independent commission hearing on Everton’s case.

Both clubs have 14 days to respond, with a hearing ending by April 8, potentially impacting the season’s outcome. Everton may argue for incorrect financial assessments, seeking mitigation, while Forest aims to include Brennan Johnson’s transfer in 2022-23 accounts. Clubs can appeal, with a verdict potentially post-season but before June’s top-flight confirmation.
