The points deductions are for using the financial position to gain a sporting advantage. In the case of Everton, they were warned by the EPL about their spending and also held onto to players when they said they would sell them and gained a sporting advantage. He said in the case of Forest, they could have sold Brennan before the end of June but kept hold of him until the end of August and in that time, he played in 3 matches in which they lost 2 and won 1, so was the sporting advantage actually that great. Interesting point.
A few have been saying that a logical deduction would be the 3 points gained during which Brennan played this season. It’s probably the most likely outcome, hope the rumours from yesterday are wrong.
