Nottingham Forest points deduction fears rise after ‘insane’ twist – fans react
Nottingham Forest fans have raised concerns over a new points deduction after the arrival of Elliot Anderson from Newcastle for £35million.
Fans were left stunned by the excessive transfer fee and questioned how it would help them avoid further issues with profit and sustainability rules.
Forest were handed a four-point deduction for breaching financial rules last season and with the financial deadline approaching on 30 June, clubs are scrambling to avoid future breaches.
Football Insider revealed that Anderson, 21, began his medical at the City Ground on Sunday morning (30 June) in a move which will satisfy Newcastle’s PSR concerns.
