Birmingham City face points deduction after being charged for EFL breaches

Championship side Birmingham City could be handed a suspended points deduction after allegedly breaching the English Football League's regulations.

The EFL have charged Birmingham and "a number of individuals" with multiple counts of misconduct after concluding an investigation into a failed takeover attempt. It is alleged a prospective buyer is accused of funding the club without the EFL's approval.

Birmingham have faced a number of off-field problems since Birmingham Sports Holdings - a Hong Kong-based company - completed a controlling takeover of the club in 2016. Two stands at the club's St Andrew's ground are partially closed due to asbestos damage.
