West Brom’s points deduction ‘anger’ sparks EFL action after politician intervenes.


For a short time, things were becoming tense at The Hawthorns, with a potential points deduction threatening to condemn West Brom from the Championship.

Despite a strong run of form under caretaker manager James Morrison, the Baggies remained barely above the relegation zone, while numerous teams around them found form at the perfect time.



In the end, West Brom were only docked two points by the EFL for breaking financial rules, and the team has since guaranteed their survival with a game to spare.


While the Black Country club can now look forward to the summer and rebuilding ahead of a vital campaign, a significant local figure has criticised the football regulatory body for its actions.



West Brom MP seeks answers from the EFL


Some may claim it has been a season to forget for West Brom fans, but considering the drama that has unfolded at the tail end of the campaign, it is unlikely they will forget it quickly.



A manager sacking, points deduction, and the genuine fear of relegation have all contributed to a difficult season, but the punishment imposed by the EFL has enraged people in and around the football club the most.


Local Labour MP Sarah Coombes, who represents West Bromwich, has now released her harsh letter to the EFL on social media.

Could West Brom appeal the points deduction?

Why an appeal could be the appropriate move for the Baggies.
