It may be good from the FFP point of view but further delays in agreeing payments to the EFL looks like deliberate delaying tactic. Bring on the regulator!

Nottingham Forest have received a four-point deduction for breaching the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability rules, dropping them into the relegation zone, one point from safety.
An announcement from the Premier League is expected on Monday and Forest are likely to appeal.

Likely to appeal? From the outside, it looks as if they have been let off very lightly.

Forest admitted the breach but their defence was based around extenuating circumstances in relation to the sale of Brennan Johnson. The club received a £30m offer from Brentford early last summer but the forward was unwilling to move and Forest felt they could get more money for their star asset if they waited beyond the 30 June PSR deadline. Johnson was sold for £47.5m to Tottenham in September but an independent panel did not accept this defence.

Nonsense.

Very interested to see how Villa plays out.

Also interesting that there's likely to be an unofficial transfer window at the end of June with several clubs having to sell by June 30th and a very limited pool of clubs able to buy unhindered by PSR.

I exclude us from this as I don't see us buying a first team player from Villa due to wages. Could see us looking at picking up a prospect though
It's Jacob Ramsey you'd imagine. He's clearly talented (Villa Young Player of the Season last year) and not yet on astronomical wages, academy graduate so pure profit in FFP terms as well. Someone like United or Spurs will pay £60m for him at the start of the summer to solve any issues (and give them a little breathing space).

That's a Massive type excuse. We did sell our stadium (to ourselves), but unluckily it was a year too late.

It looks like they didn't get any joy with the Brennan Johnson defense...

I have changed my mind. Initially I thought it (4 points) pathetic but seeing how Everton fans are now in meltdown, I think 4 points is fair enough!

Looks like Bournemouth are sailing close to the wind too.

Wow. Another one is choppy seas. Cue speculation about which players we could pick up in a firesale.

In other PSR news. I see Forest are appealing.
