Nottingham Forest is bracing for a pivotal moment as they await their PSR fate with a disciplinary hearing over Premier League financial rule breaches scheduled for March 7 and 8, with an outcome expected by April 8. Following Everton's successful appeal that resulted in their points deduction being reduced from ten to six for similar breaches, Nottingham Forest dropped a place in the league standings. Nuno Espírito Santo, Nottingham Forest's manager, stressed the importance of focusing on their own performance during this period. The case will be heard by an independent commission and is expected to be fully resolved, including any potential appeal, by April 15. This situation has brought the application of the Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) into the spotlight, especially after the controversy surrounding Everton's initial penalty. The hearing also includes a Nuno Tavares update.

PSR is important but it must be applied fairly and proportionately. Everton were treated poorly by “experts”. The original commission’s 10-point deduction was patently wrong and caused a legitimate outcry. Some justice has now been done. https://t.co/j9iBuCWYBj

Nottingham Forest can only focus on themselves as they await to discover PSR fate, says Nuno Espírito Santo. Everton’s appeal and subsequent reduction in points deduction from ten to six for PSR breaches has seen #NFFC drop a place in Premier League. https://t.co/wpeGWlXrbn
