This doesn’t sit right with me. Docking West Brom two points over money linked to its Foundation misses what clubs like this do in our communities. And changing the rule part way through the accounting period raises real questions.
I’ll be taking this up with the EFL and the new regulator.
West Brom is a proud community club, working hard to move on from the past ownership issues. I spoke to the club earlier this week to offer my full support.

My trip to India was about creating long-term, prosperous connections with those back in the West Midlands.
From automotive, industrial and creative investments, to cultural and spiritual connections.
A wonderful place, fantastic people, and a trip that will benefit those in the region for years to come.
This week I enjoyed two wonderful days with His Excellency, Hiroshi Suzuki (@AmbJapanUK). Paddington, Peaky Blinders, and strengthening Birmingham-Japan ties.
Sad to see Carlos Corberan leave West Brom if he does go to Valencia as reported. Did a good job at the Albion in difficult circumstances. Reduced wage bill by 30% for PSR reasons, reduced average age, got 47 wins and 29 draws in 107 games (too many draws this season though), players obviously respect him and Grant, Mowatt, Bartley and Furlong improved by him. Good coach and manager, trusted by Bielsa at Leeds, got Huddersfield to the play-off final, and will be missed by the Albion. Good luck to Corberan at Valencia (his boyhood club) – and hope West Brom get decent compensation (apparently £2-3m) for losing a good manager. #WBAFC #WBA
🚨🦇 Carlos Corberán, set to sign as new Valencia head coach until June 2027 as replacement for Baraja.
Release clause over €3m triggered and Corberán will sign for Valencia in the next 24h.
