Birmingham City will be deducted nine points by the English Football League for breaching profitability and sustainability rules, reports BBC WM.
The sanction would see Blues drop from 13th to 18th in the Championship, five points above the relegation zone with eight games to play.
Losses in excess of £13m per year over a three-year period are not accepted under EFL rules.
An Independent Disciplinary Commission considered the matter on Monday.
Yes, but the loss thresholds are higher (£35m per season) and most of the clubs are now broadly profitable due to the size of the tv deal.this sets a precedent, are rules the same in the premier league?
Premier League Clubs are allowed to make £35m per year on average over a 3 year period, and the £13m is a proportion of that which is linked to the parachute payments.Why are allowed losses so specific at 13m? Why not 10, 15 or whatever?
Seems extremely specific. Anyone assist?
