Nottingham Forest penalized, adding to Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina's troubles

Posted : 19 March 2024

Super Eagles stars Taiwo Awoniyi and Ola Aina are facing the threat of relegation with Nottingham Forest, as the club has incurred a four-point deduction from the Premier League for violating profitability and sustainability regulations.


Both Awoniyi and Aina have encountered a challenging period this season, marked by injuries and disappointing results, leading to the dismissal of long-serving coach Steve Cooper.


Despite a decent start to the season, Nottingham Forest has struggled, managing only six wins and seven draws from 29 games.


The club's woes worsened with the announcement of a four-point deduction by the Premier League, following a breach of financial regulations.


Nottingham Forest exceeded the permitted financial losses, with a total deficit of £95 million over the past three years, surpassing the £61 million threshold set for newly promoted Premier League clubs.


Initially facing a potential six-point deduction, Forest's penalty was reduced to four points following early pleas and cooperation, leaving them with 21 points in the Premier League standings, just one point above the relegation zone.


While Aina has shown promise this season, his fitness will be crucial for Forest's survival bid, while Awoniyi's past contributions underscore the need for him to deliver during this critical period.


With the club expected to appeal the decision, the onus falls on manager Nuno Espirito Santo to navigate Forest away from relegation danger and secure their Premier League status for the next season.
