West Bromwich Albion insist the club has fully complied with the profit and sustainability rules set by the English Football League. The statement follows recent reports suggesting the Championship side could face a points deduction. West Bromwich Albion confirmed it remains in regular contact with the league regarding financial submissions, per The Guardian.
EFL rules permit clubs to lose a maximum of £39m over a three-year period. West Bromwich Albion recorded a pre-tax profit of £11m for the 2022-23 period after several seasons of financial losses, according to Sky Sports. The club recently underwent a change in ownership, with Shilen Patel completing a takeover in February 2024.
The club maintains that its financial management aligns with all league requirements. Any potential breach could lead to sanctions similar to those issued to other clubs in the division. West Bromwich Albion currently compete in the Championship and occupy a position in the play-off places, according to Reuters.
