Latest Nottingham Forest news as Nuno Espirito Santo comments on PSR situation ahead of Reds' clash with Everton
Head coach Nuno Espirito Santo admits the points deduction uncertainty affecting Nottingham Forest and relegation rivals Everton is a “distraction” for his team.
Nuno says now knowing how many points the Reds have and how many might be required for survival makes his job harder. And with the saga dragging on, there is the potential for the table to still be up in the air after the final round of fixtures on May 19 - with the Premier League’s backstop date for sorting out both cases being May 24.
“It's a point of distraction. It doesn’t just happen one day, it’s continuous because every day there is something out about what can change - maybe we get the points back, maybe they take some. All these things are what causes the problem.As it stands, Forest are on 26 points and sit one point and one place below 16th-placed Everton. They are also just one point above the bottom three - although that could change ahead of kick-off on Merseyside as Luton Town host Brentford on Saturday.
“We have to go back to the reason behind the deduction of the points, which I am not aware of. I don't know so I can't give an opinion on this. But what I can tell you is that when you are playing in the season and you get this issue things become much harder because of the uncertainty and how it disturbs the whole harmony of the squad.
