Morrison Bans PSR Talk as West Brom Face Potential Points Deduction

The club seeks to keep focus on survival with an EFL case over alleged overspending potentially bringing a points hit this season.

Overview

  • West Brom head coach James Morrison, who on Friday barred any talk of the EFL case at the training ground, told players to treat the run-in as business as usual.
  • The Telegraph reported an EFL charge that Albion exceeded the three-year £39m loss cap under Profit and Sustainability rules, which the club denies by saying it fully complied.
  • Under EFL guidance any punishment would apply to this season, with four games in 15 days and Albion two points clear of the relegation zone.
  • The team are unbeaten in seven and visit Preston on Saturday with Karlan Grant, Chris Mepham and Tammer Bany fit after long layoffs.
  • Shropshire Star reports a hearing is expected this month to decide the case, with disputed interest payments from a former owner’s loan cited locally as a key point.
