Premier League confirms Notts Forest deducted four points

In its ruling, the League says Nottingham Forest overspent by £34.5m.

The stats – Luton Town V Nottingham Forest

Points were shared as Nottingham Forest took on Luton Town in a crucial relegation six-pointer.

What are the rules – and how did Notts Forest breach them?

PSR stands for profitability and sustainability rules.

Premier League clubs are allowed to lose £105m over a three-year period but Forest’s permitted losses were limited to £61m because they spent two years of that period in the Championship.

This was another part of their defence, with the club claiming they were hamstrung after being promoted because investment in the squad is vital to challenge at a higher level against more established teams.
