Nottingham Forest greed slammed as Premier League clubs shoot down £900m deal

Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as former Trent End hero slams club for failing to back pyramid payments – with Aston Villa and Liverpool also feeling his wrath

Stan Collymore has criticised former clubs Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Aston Villa for not backing a new funding deal for the EFL.

Monday’s top-flight shareholders’ meeting in London – attended by representatives of pundit Collymore’s former Premier League clubs – ended without an offer being made.

A six-year deal granting the EFL 14.75 per cent of net media revenue with the Premier League – projected to be worth in the region of £900m – has been mooted, but top flight clubs decided the priority was to thrash out a new financial system to replace the current profitability and sustainability rules.

Taking to X, the platform formerly know as Twitter, he posted: “Thank you to those supporters of all clubs who agree with the last few tweets.

“Never felt as dismayed as seeing my club, founders no less, chose greed and self preservation over a 100+ year old unique football pyramid.
