Nottingham Forest has just received very bad news. As explained by the serious daily The Guardian, the Premier League has decided to deduct 4 points from the club. And this, because like Everton before him, he notably broke the rules of financial control of the League. Forest notably exceeded the loss limit authorized by the financial authorities of the British championship.
