Nottingham Forest have appealed against their four-point deduction in the Premier League.
Forest were plunged into the relegation zone last week after an independent commission ruled that they had breached the league’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
The Premier League said Forest admitted breaching PSR by £34.5m above their permitted threshold of £61m.
Forest, who consulted lawyers before deciding to appeal, were disappointed with the ruling and said the process has “harmed the trust and confidence we had in the Premier League”.
A league statement released on Monday read: “Nottingham Forest Football Club has appealed the decision of an independent Commission to impose a four-point deduction on the club, after its admission of a breach of the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
“The club lodged the appeal to the Chair of the Judicial Panel today, who will now appoint an Appeal Board to hear the case.”
