Both parties have the right of appeal.

As I have said before this is the season to take the hit with Luton, Burnley and Sheff Utd all likely to go down....this is a free hit season. Take the points deduction and forget about it and move on!

Three windows. £300m blown on 43 players. How Forest lost the plot
IAN HERBERT: No fewer than 43 players have arrived for close to £300m across three transfer windows and Monday there were consequences - a four-point deduction.
Can I have your log in details?Just for dibble:

because I'm not paying to read ANY newspaper article.Brentford, Brighton etc have shown you can stay up in the first season without having to go overboard with the spending.
But maybe that time has past now and teams do need to spend big,
Forest's main problem when they first came up was they had a lot of loan players that needed replacing.

It depends on the squad that gets you promoted. If it’s predominantly loan players, then the club will have to bring a lot of new players in.

From the Liverpool Echo.
This farcical Premier League season has plummeted to new depths of absurdity, exposed in a single paragraph deep into the explanation of the four-point deduction handed to Nottingham Forest.
On page 47 of the 52-page report, released on Monday, the third independent commission to rule on a spending breach acknowledged it had little idea how some of the decisions made before it were reached.
Three legal experts, appointed to provide confidence in a competition undermined by asterisks, looked at the precedent set by Everton and admitted that, not only could they not work out how the punishment handed to the Blues had been calculated, but that no explanation had been made available to them.
The Premier League would likely point to its member clubs in response. There is no formula to decide the sanction for breaches of profit and sustainability rules because the clubs did not want one, it would submit. That may be so. But three hearings into what can no longer be considered a new process, the lack of consistency towards season-defining considerations is bizarre. It begs an important question: How can anyone have faith in a process upon which club futures will be decided but on terms and conditions not even the experts judging them understand?

Done.
So Notts Forest after spending £200 million, signing 40+ players, aren't certain to get 4 more points than Luton. Especially as Luton haven't spaffed millions of pounds on 22 new players. Isn't that sort of behaviour one of the reasons the rules were tightened.
Them and Everton must have assumed their "history" meant the rules could be "shaped" around it. A suspended points deduction, pay a fine, keep your noses clean and try not to do it again.
Imagine a scenario where a Luton or Bournemouth had beaten Forest in the playoffs, got promoted and behaved as Forest have. Would there be such an outcry or would it be that the rules are there to stop this sort of thing and they've brought it on themselves.
If Notts and Everton "sort of getaway with it" , then it means, we're not completely up FFP Shitts Creek and we'll properly have access to a paddle, when it's our turn to be up before the beak : )
