Re: Forest points deduction appeal
Exactly this. I've been saying it for a while, for two reasons. One, there's no chance they'll want the legal fallout from Forest being relegated by 4 points or less. If the situation remains "as is" after the next two matches, you'll suddenly find that Forest will have 2 points returned in order t...
