“It’s true that Nottingham Forest this season will be right on the edge of a PSR breach” – Stefan Borson shares update on Nottingham Forest points deduction

Finance expert Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider that Forest are under pressure to raise money before the cut-off date of June 30, has said that Nottingham Forest are “on the edge” of a PSR breach and will need to raise £65million this summer to avoid another points deduction.

Last season, Forest received a four-point deduction for exceeding their allowable losses under Profit and Sustainability Rules.

For the 2023-24 season, the club’s allowable loss limit has increased to £83 million after spending another year in the top flight. However, the club remains at risk of another breach, which could result in another points deduction.

The PSR accounting period ends on June 30th, so Forest must balance their books by this deadline to avoid another breach.

Borson revealed that Forest will need around £60-£65million in player sales to steer clear of another punishment.

“It’s true that Nottingham Forest this season will be right on the edge of a PSR breach,” Borson told Football Insider’s James Murray.

“They have an £83million limit because in the last three years they have spent two of those in the Premier League and one in the EFL.

“So they’re limited to losses of £83million.

“I think by the end of June they will need to have quite a chunky player profit, probably in the order of £60million to £65million.

“We know they have already had quite a big profit from the sale of Brennan Johnson.“
