When Nottingham Forest will likely hear their appeal verdict - and a football finance expert's prediction of what to expect
When Nottingham Forest will likely hear their appeal verdict - and a football finance expert's prediction of what to expectThe club are reportedly still hopeful for a reduction in their punishment, which would have a massive impact on their hopes of Premier League survival.
Forest’s main hope was their “golden mitigation” point, based around the timing of the sale of Brennan Johnson. Johnson was sold to Tottenham for £47.5m last August, outside the necessary financial window, after the club had rejected lower offers for him earlier in the transfer window. This leaves the most likely option, and the one Wilson predicts – that nothing changes. In fact, Wilson argues Forest’s biggest hope is the seeming randomness of the whole process. Due to no established guidelines for PSR punishment, each commission appears to be largely making it up as they go along.
As the hearing is expected to begin on 22 April, the most likely date for the final verdict is Monday 6 May. You cannot put forward any new evidence in an appeal, it is simply a new independent commission hearing the case for themselves. As a result, Forest could well end up being used as an example and receiving no reduction in their punishment on appeal, in order to disincentivise future appeals.
