Nottingham Forest “will come under pressure” to make a significant player sale this summer if they do not secure promotion, it has been claimed.
The challenges of being competitive in the Championship, battling with teams who benefit from parachute payments, have been laid bare by football finance blogger Swiss Ramble, who has analysed their latest set of accounts. The Reds posted an operating loss of more than £34million when their accounts for the year ending June 2021 were posted earlier this month - a figure which was reduced to £15.5m pre-tax.
The accounts cover a 13-month period, rather than the usual 12-month timeframe, and reflect a full season of playing behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic. Swiss Ramble has compared Forest’s figures with other clubs in the Championship, as well as where they stand in remaining within the English Football League’s Profitability and Sustainability rules.
