West Brom handed immediate two-point deduction for alleged rules breach
The club said the breach is under £2 million and is the smallest ever under EFL Profitability and Sustainability rules.
- On Friday, the English Football League docked West Bromwich Albion two points for breaching Profitability and Sustainability Rules, dropping the Championship club from 18th to 20th place.
- The sanction stems from the Club Financial Reporting Unit changing its approach to 'Community Development Expenditure' regarding donations to The Albion Foundation, a retrospective adjustment West Brom claims caused the breach.
- Following a two-day hearing on April 22 and 23, the Club Financial Review Panel determined the club exceeded the Upper Loss Threshold; West Brom maintains the breach is less than £2 million and it fully complied with regulations.
- Despite the deduction, West Brom remains six points above the relegation zone with two matches left, requiring just one point to secure Championship status and avoid League One.
- The Baggies are considering an appeal within 14 days but stated, "For now, we will settle this on the pitch," prioritizing their remaining fixtures over the legal challenge.
