Simon Jordan delivers Nottingham Forest FFP verdict as Brennan Johnson transfer point made
Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as talkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan has his say on the Reds as they wait to learn their fate today regarding potential FFP punishment according to reports
Simon Jordan believes Nottingham Forest may have a “sustainable argument” if they are charged by the Premier League for breaching Financial Fair Play rules.
Top flight clubs will find out on Monday if they have been charged, with the Reds reported to be one of the teams who have breached profitability and sustainability regulations. Numerous clubs are expected to be close to, if not over, the loss limit of £105m over three seasons.
And former Crystal Palace owner Jordan has shared his view that the Reds could use the sale of Brennan Johnson to Tottenham last summer in their defence. The forward left Forest for £47.5m on transfer deadline day last summer in a club-record sale.
“I think they’ve got a sustainable argument whether they can get across the line,” he said on talkSPORT. “The challenge for Forest is it doesn’t cover the period they’re in the Premier League. That’s one of the three years.
