CFRU v West Bromwich Albion FC
An operative award has been issued by the Independent Club Financial Review Panel (CFRP) in relation an alleged breach by West Bromwich Albion FC of the Championship Profitability and Sustainability Rules (P&S Rules).
The Club Financial Reporting Unit (CFRU)'s report alleged that the Club had exceeded the Upper Loss Threshold of £39 million over the three-year period ending in the 2024/25 season and recommended a two-point deduction in line with EFL sanctioning guidelines. The Club denied the allegations.
Following a hearing on 22 and 23 April and having considered the Compliance Report in full alongside the Club’s responses, the CFRP determined that the Club’s losses did exceed the Upper Loss Threshold and imposed a two-point deduction, effective immediately.
The sporting sanction has been applied to the Championship table for the 2025/26 season.
The full written reasons will be published in due course.
