I thought it would be at least 4 and maybe higher so from that point of view 2 points is not so bad.
However, it is the complete lack of consistency with each step of the appeals process between ourselves and Forest that makes this unacceptable.
We are still two points ahead of Forest and Luton and for the first time in about seven months we have some certainty about what the bottom line is.
This must have affected the management and players, I don't see how it could not. My hope now is that this will bring renewed energy to the squad plus a return for Onana, Gueye and Danjuma.
I wonder what our appeal will be based on ? , we have already accepted we broke the PSR rules in 22/23 and in 2022. Can the points deduction in the original appeal be looked at again or is this appeal against the most recent deduction?
Regarding the Ukraine argument , Russia didn't invade until late February 2022 , I can't remember how quickly Usmanov was then distanced from the club but it probably was not for another couple of weeks.
The Ukraine situation did not have as big an impact in year ending 2022 than it did in 2023.
It will also be interesting to see if Forest win their argument about Brennan Johnson, if they do it should give us leeway in selling our players in the summer.
