Championship club West Bromwich Albion have been docked two points by the English Football League for breaking profit and sustainability rules.

The Baggies had been charged for exceeding the £39m loss limit for the three seasons to 2024-25, allegations which the club denied.

But during a two-day hearing, an independent club financial review panel found Albion's losses "did exceed the upper loss threshold" and recommended a two-point penalty.

That leaves Albion in 20th place in the table, six points above the relegation zone with two games to play.

West Brom have two weeks to appeal against the deduction and should they do so, a decision on said appeal will then not be made for up to 28 days.
