Nottingham Forest have been docked four points by the Premier League for breaching Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules.
The Tricky Trees were charged in January alongside Everton for recording losses exceeding a set threshold over three seasons.
Everton fell to the sledgehammer first, incurring a 10-point deduction after they were indicted by the investigative panel.
However, after appeal, the Toffees were able to recoup four of the 10 points as the deducted points were pecked back to six.
Nottingham Forest were next on the line for sanctions for a similar offense, having incurred losses exceeding the amount stipulated by PSR.
Now, according to the BBC, Forests have been hit with a four-point deduction after an investigative panel adjudged the club to have breached extant rules governing the financial operations of clubs.

The club have dropped into the relegation zone with 21 points and are now 18th on the table behind Luton Town who have 22 points.
There are projections that the Tricky Trees will appeal the sanction to reverse the point deduction or cut down deducted points as was the case with Everton.
What is the Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules?
The Premier League Profits and Sustainability Rules (PSR) is a financial regulatory framework deployed by the Premier League to control the financial operations of clubs.
It bars clubs from recording financial losses up to £105m over three seasons for Premier League clubs and £61m for Championship clubs.
Nottingham Forest reportedly recorded losses in excess of £61m over two seasons when they were in the Championships.
