Manchester City face 115 charges which the Blues strenuously deny while Forest and Everton have been punished already this season
Manchester City and FFP, or PSR. The words seem intrinsically linked regardless of circumstances just now.
Joe Thomas Everton's difficulties started with themselves. The rules have been in place for some time and the club has found itself the subject of questions over its finances because of a track record of poor decisions made by those at the top. While that may be the case, the club - like every club - deserves to be subjected to a fair, consistent and transparent process when it is accused of wrongdoing. It has been anything but.
In contrast, by delaying the sale of Brennan Johnson, Forest actively decided not to comply with the rules within an official timeframe that had long been established, and despite warnings. The club's breach was also 77% higher than Everton's. Yet they have ended up with a sanction that is smaller than the Blues'.
Now Forest know what they have to deal with. Now they know what they need to do as they gear up for a nine-game sprint to the finish in the relegation fight. Nuno has always insisted his focus and that of his players has been on matters on the pitch. However, the Portuguese must use the club’s punishment to galvanise his squad. They cannot allow dropping into the relegation zone to have a detrimental psychological effect.
There is, therefore, the possibility that the whole saga may still be up in the air once the whistle has blown on the last day of the campaign. That would be a ridiculous state of affairs. There is no question the Reds had to spend money once they had been promoted, both to stay in the top-flight and then to try to kick on. Not all of it, though, was spent wisely.
