Actually, under the old FFP rules they didn't have a points deduction as an option, they had transfer embargos and fines as punishments. Embargos were put on a number of clubs, Forest being the main ones and fines were given to others, most notably QPR. Problem is the embargo didn't do anything but delay spending and the fines were not paid or were greatly reduced upon appeal, so when they moved from FFP to P&S they added points deductions to the list as well. The EFL feel that a points deduction would carry more weight with clubs because its hard not to get relegated when you get one!!
