Birmingham City possible 12 pt deduction	Permalink
Read over the weekend that BCFC could be handed a 12 pt deduction penalty for signing a £2m player, who by the way still isnt registered with the EFL. Does anyone think it will happen, or will they get a fine like QPR & Bournemouth. If it does happen, this makes the odds of us staying up better. __________________

If it was us.. definitely a points deduction. But Birmingham probably have better lawyers - so probably a fine for them. __________________

Lets see - as they have been struggling over recent years, and this could be the nail in the coffin for them this season. __________________

According to one source it appears that there is room for negotiation between the club and the EFL re the actual fine, which will inevitably be imposed, and the points deduction which could be spread out over two seasons, this season and next season. Six points deducted this season and six points deducted at the start of 2019-20 season. __________________

Sorry HM - I just started a new thread on that before I read your post on this related one. __________________
