Nottingham Forest's losses from Premier League era revealed - and it's good news

Nottingham Forest’s Premier League losses have been revealed in new figures.

The Reds have spent five seasons in the Premier League since its formation for the 1992-93 season, last appearing in the top-flight in 1999.

And during that time in the first tier of English football they are said to have made a modest loss of £3.9m.

New figures from website PriceOfFootball show that Forest’s total is the second smallest loss across all clubs to have featured in the Premier League from 1993 to 2018.

Wimbledon made the smallest loss of just £1.4m.

According to PriceOfFootball, only 25 of the 49 teams to have played in the Premier League have made a profit.

They say Chelsea and Manchester City have posted the two largest sets of losses since 1993, at £695.3m and £645.7m respectively.

The figures show that Arsenal are the most profitable club of the Premier League era with an overall cash surplus of £512.3m.

Forest will be aiming to get back into the top-flight this term as they look to mount a promotion push under Sabri Lamouchi, currently sitting fifth in the Championship table.
