Nuno Espirito Santo's team have dropped into the relegation zone following announcement of points deduction for breaking Premier League's profit and sustainability rules
Nottingham Forest have been plunged into the relegation zone after becoming the second Premier League club to receive a points deduction for breaches of profit and sustainability rules.
Their deduction follows Everton ’s punishment for a breach of the same regulations. The Goodison Park club were initially stripped of 10 points but had four of those reinstated last month following an appeal. While Everton were judged on a £105m limit across the past three years, the cap is calculated differently for promoted teams with losses of only £13m per campaign allowed in the Championship.
Johnson's move was part of Forest's argument against the charges. They had rejected a bid of about £30m from Brentford in June, which would have been part of the financial accounts and seen them stay within the limits. But their valuation of the Wales attacker was much higher and finally received what they deemed an adequate bid later in the transfer window.
