Nottingham Forest fans are once again in a frenzy in the Premier League following the latest news of a possible financial breach by Chelsea.
An ESPN report has revealed that the Premier League has approved the Blues’ sale of two hotels to a sister company, which will help them meet profit and sustainability rules.
Essentially – Chelsea’s majority owner Clearlake Capital will transfer money from one BlueCo subsidiary to another to avoid financial restrictions and potential fines.
There is renewed belief that the Premier League appears to be doing everything it can to help clubs avoid punishment for breaking the rules.
Fans were previously shocked when financial expert Stefan Borson revealed that Man United had been given £40m compensation to avoid breaching the PSR.
This comes after Nottingham Forest and Everton were stripped of points for PSR’s own offenses last summer.
Since those penalties were handed down, fans have insisted that most clubs in the division are run differently to the Big Six – and the latest upheaval serves as further evidence for their claims.
Nottingham Forest fans are going wild in the Premier League after Chelsea PSR’s upset
Forest were deducted four points for a foul against PSR last season, despite spending two years of the three-year spell in the Championship.
Now the fans are feeling more cruel by the day, and were also shocked when Leicester City managed to win an appeal against their own charges.
Forest fans have flocked to social media following the latest developments, branding the Premier League “pathetic” and insisting the latest news is “blatant corruption”.
