@JonnyDrury_Star Ohh no - sorry you are leaving mate. I’ll miss you flagging me down outside the Smethwick! You’ve done a brilliant job - our loss is the gain of your next role. Go well mate and hope to see you again 💙🤍👍🏻
We recognise and understand the club’s decision not to appeal the EFL sanction.
But as the supporters trust, we believe there are bigger issues that cannot be ignored.
Today we remember our King, Jeff Astle, on what would have been his birthday.
A true Albion legend whose legacy lives on in the hearts of West Brom supporters forever.
Happy Birthday, King Jeff. 💙🤍
@balhampa@henrywinter Suggest you do your homework before commenting @balhampa. The club employed a consultant to remain compliant after our previous owners stole a lot of money and left a whole. Apparently the efl have changed the accounting rules re charities mid term. Any punishment is a disgrace.
We’ve now received a response from the EFL which simply acknowledges our email and says further comment will follow in due course. We’ve replied to say this is unacceptable and have again requested immediate clarity with one week of the season remaining.
@RobTannerLCFC Plus Rob - should WBA be docked the huge amount of points you are requiring ( for an accounting disagreement, not a fraudulent breach) you would then have to question why our 24/25 has to be addressed now, but yours doesn’t?
Volunteers will be outside Greggs /corner of Halfords, between 7 and 7.30 tomo. Please come and sign up for free (or paid) memberships, it takes 1 minute ,collect your pin badge as a paid member, or purchase a badge. Please bring cash or you can bank transfer. Be part of YOUR IST
We have written to the EFL on behalf of our members and Albion supporters to request clarity on the alleged PSR breach by the club.
We'll update on our channels in due course.
@Geordiebaggie@JPercyTelegraph My first question was why no official charge from the efl. Is that not a fair question? Is it not fair to ask JP about that as he is all over the story when others are not? Of course he isn’t going to answer, so that means I can’t ask?
@Geordiebaggie@JPercyTelegraph I think JP is very competent - did you miss where I said he’s excellent at his job? If the efl are as incompetent as you say then we have nothing to worry about then do we, they have it wrong
@Geordiebaggie@JPercyTelegraph Entitled to your opinion mate. What have I said that’s untrue? Have the efl posted the charge? Does JP not mainly cover Leicester?
@MrR1g4t@AliJones9@JPercyTelegraph I’d be a lot more worried about yourselves to be honest! Like who is paying back your £100m+ loan from the government or paying to renovate your falling down stadium. Would be a lot more important to me than your rivals under £1m accounting error/breach.
