Nottingham Forest's Failed Appeal and the £750,000 Fine Saga
Nottingham Forest lose appeal against a significant fine for a social media criticism.



Nottingham Forest have faced a setback as their appeal against a £750,000 fine imposed by the Football Association has been unsuccessful. The fine was issued due to a controversial social media post that criticized video assistant referee Stuart Attwell following a Premier League defeat at Everton on 21 April 2024. The club's post had alleged certain biases and expressed dissatisfaction with the refereeing decisions. Despite their protest, the appeal board upheld the sanction, emphasizing the severity and wide reach of the tweet. Currently, Nottingham Forest is third in the table with 10 matches remaining this season.
