Nottingham Forest's relegation rival Everton have been accused of breaching Profitability & Sustainability rules during the ending season of 2021/22 by the Premier League.
Everton could conceivably be punished in the form of points deduction, as a result, although this is unlikely to take place this season if they are sanctioned.. Forest currently find themselves in 16th place, level on 26 points with the Toffees - just two points away from the relegation zone.
An official statement released by the Premier League reads: "In accordance with Premier League Rule W.82.1, the Premier League confirms that it has today referred an alleged breach of the League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules by Everton Football Club to a Commission under Premier League Rule W.3.4. The assessment period for which it is alleged that the Club is in breach is the period ending Season 2021/22.
