David Ornstein has been elaborating on his belief that Nottingham Forest was not informed by the Premier League of the decision of their FFP case on Friday.
Regarding the Forest incident, the respected writer for The Athletic was speaking with NBC Sports.
What has Ornstein said about the matter, and when will Forest know what their punishment is? Let’s investigate more closely.
David Ornstein shares why Forest didn’t find out their fate on Friday
Ornstein’s speculation notwithstanding, Forest ought to have been aware of the circumstances when their case was heard on Friday, which is seven days after they showed up for the hearing.
Rather than taking immediate action, the ruling class decided to wait, and it appears that Forest will find out today how many points they will lose.
“So, their hearing into the breach of financial fair play rules was heard the week before last,” Ornstein said to NBC Sports. Our expectation was a response in around seven days, which would have meant Friday.
But I believe it was regarded a little insensitive in the lead-up to their important match against Luton on Saturday, so they will find out on Monday. Nottingham Forest anticipates finding out the case’s verdict at that point.
“Forest is optimistic, but they don’t know what their punishment will be. They hope for the best, but right now, it’s a guessing game.”
“The renowned KC Nick De Marco, who has a solid track record, has been leading their case.
Forest just want to know the outcome now
It’s been too long to wait, and the fact that it’s taking so long just shows that they’re not skilled at the game.
While the Toffees will be disappointed if Forest ends up with less points than the six Everton received, they do have a reason to anticipate less.
Furthermore, Forest has the right to challenge any penalty, and the longer this goes on, the more likely it is.
In one way or another, Forest and the other teams in the relegation zone just need some clarification.
Hopefully, Ornstein hits the mark once more and, before the action ends today, Forest receives some clarification.
