Why Wolves did not need to sell Ruben Neves to comply with PSR
Wolves did not need to sell Ruben Neves to avoid a Premier League points deduction this season – despite claims from rivals Nottingham Forest.
An independent commission applied a four-point penalty to Forest this week after they were found to be in breach of profit and sustainability rules (PSR) for the three-year period ending with the 2022/23 season. But Forest claimed – without providing evidence – that Wolves only avoided a similar punishment after selling then-captain Neves to Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal in June 2023.
Forest did not sell their star player Brennan Johnson to Tottenham until September in a bid to maximise their income.
