4 points off Forest then

4 points off Forest then

Should be more, but will probably end up less on appeal

What I don't quite understand was 4 points was given, the commission believed Forest were worthy of the same punishment as Everton but said a potential six-point loss was reduced to four owing to the club's "early plea and the cooperation together".

If the above is the case and you lodge an appeal, how can you also "early please and co-operate too"? Its like doing a deal for a Prison term for 15 years instead of life and then appealing the prison term length as too long.

You can admit the offence (whether it's murder or an FFP breach) but still contest/appeal the sentence, two different things
