Story summary

West Bromwich Albion announced on 13 May 2026 that it will not appeal the league’s two-point deduction.
The deduction stemmed from exceeding the £39 million loss limit and £2.1 million community-development payments deemed ineligible under the Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Officials said an appeal was unnecessary because the sanction left the Baggies six points above relegation and they finished 21st, four points clear after a 0-0 draw with Ipswich Town.
