Andros Townsend criticises uncertainty over Everton & Nottingham Forest points deductions

Luton winger Andros Townsend says the uncertainty created by other Premier League teams' points deductions for breaching financial rules "makes a mockery" of the top flight.

Everton have been docked six points - down from 10 after an appeal - while Nottingham Forest have appealed against their own four-point deduction.

Forest's points loss meant they replaced Luton in the relegation zone.

Townsend said clubs battling the drop "don't know what's going to happen".

Luton are now 17th in the table - one point and one place above Forest. But the top-flight standings are potentially still subject to change given Forest's decision to appeal, while a hearing into a second alleged breach by Everton is taking place this week.
