When Man City will get FFP verdict on 115 charges amid Nottingham Forest appeal decision

Nottingham Forest's appeal against their four point deduction for breach of Premier League rules has reportedly been unsuccessful.

The Athletic claim the appeal has failed and the decision stands, meaning Forest will remain with a four point deduction and remain 17th in the table. The Premier League has imposed sanctions on Everton and Nottingham Forest this season for breaches of their rules on profit and sustainability (PSR). Meanwhile, Manchester City have been waiting in the background.

City are under investigation themselves after allegedly breaching 115 rules regarding Financial Fair Play, which relate to a period between 2009 and 2018. The Premier League's chief executive Richard Masters has reiterated that City's investigation is very different to the cases of Everton and Forest. The two clubs this season have received points deductions of 10 (reduced to six after appeal) and four respectively, but City's case covers a bigger period and involves many more charges.

Masters revealed earlier this season an unknown date for City's hearing has been set, which will reportedly be later in 2024 – though some media outlets have reported that it won't be until early 2025.

And speaking at a European Leagues press conference in London last month, Masters indicated the hearing into City's case will take place in the "near future." No date was given by the Premier League CEO.

He said: "We can’t comment on the case, the date is set. The case will resolve itself at some point in the near future."

It was back in February 2023 when the charges were brought to City and made public. The Premier League said that the English champions had failed to give "a true and fair view of the club’s financial position".

City had previously been hit with a Uefa ban in 2020 after being found to have broken the European footballing body's financial rules – but had it overturned by the the court of arbitration for sport.

November 2023 saw Everton hit with a 10-point deduction, though that was reduced to six points in February this year. Leicester City were also charged for an alleged breach of Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
