  • West Bromwich Albion could face a points deduction this season due to an alleged breach of the English Football League’s financial regulations.
  • The potential sanction arises from a compliance report by the Club Financial Reporting Unit concerning the club's loss limits under the EFL’s profitability and sustainability rules.
  • If imposed, the deduction would directly impact Albion’s current standing in the Championship, where they are 20th, just two points above the relegation zone.
  • West Brom has 14 days to respond to the report and is reportedly attempting to defer any punishment until the next season.
  • Both the EFL and West Bromwich Albion declined to comment when approached.
