Nuno Espirito Santo, the head coach of Nottingham Forest, expresses his disapproval of the chaotic situation at the lower end of the Premier League.

In a recent press conference, Nottingham Forest head coach Nuno Espirito Santo expressed his frustration with the current state of the Premier League, describing it as “a mess.” This comes after Forest were hit with a four-point deduction for breaching profit and sustainability rules, a decision they have appealed.

Nuno, who is preparing his team for a match against his former club Wolverhampton Wanderers, admitted that he and his players have never experienced a situation like this before. He emphasized the need for a quick resolution, stating, “It’s very important we have the decision sooner. It’s better for us and it is better for the competition so it doesn’t create mess, confusion and uncertainty.”

The head coach called for unity within the club, urging everyone involved to be part of the “big fight” they are facing. Forest exceeded the £61 million loss threshold by £34.5m, leading to the penalty. The club lodged an appeal a week later, with a decision expected before their final match of the season against Burnley on May 19.

Currently, Forest sit 17th in the table with 25 points, just above Luton Town on goal difference. Everton, who also received a point deduction, are in 16th place with 27 points. The outcome of Forest’s appeal will have significant implications for their final league position and the relegation battle.

As the Premier League awaits the resolution of these appeals, the uncertainty and ongoing discussions have created a sense of chaos. Nuno Espirito Santo and his team are focused on their task at hand, but the situation remains a source of frustration and concern for the club.
