Reports have emerged suggesting that Nottingham Forest is facing financial troubles, with the club reportedly owing millions of pounds in overdue payments to players and agents, News About Nigeria reports.
According to the Daily Mail, players who left the Premier League club at the end of the last season have not received their bonuses, leading to growing concerns among agents.
Some agents are reportedly considering legal action against the club, which could potentially result in winding up petitions if the outstanding payments are not resolved.
Nottingham Forest underwent substantial squad changes last season, signing a total of 30 players across two transfer windows after securing promotion to the Premier League.
Despite managing to remain in the top division, six players departed the City Ground this summer as free agents, to other European clubs.
However, the situation is said to have taken a toll on the club’s financial standing, leading to concerns over payment delays.
The report from the Daily Mail also highlights that the 2022/23 player bonuses for those who have stayed at the club are scheduled to be paid in August, with assurances that those who left will receive their money at the same time.
The situation has raised eyebrows and put Nottingham Forest under scrutiny. Meanwhile, with the reports making rounds, Forest are hopeful to make things right before the start of the new season.
Forest scaled through a potential relegation spot last season, with their final matchday victory, giving them a chance to fight for the prestigious English top-flight title in the coming campaign.
