Football finance expert Kieran Maguire believes Bristol City may have resigned themselves to a points deduction for next season as the Robins continue to be in discussions with the EFL over Profit & Sustainability obligations.
City posted record losses of £38.4million in December for the 2020/21 season and under the league’s P&S submissions - whereby club losses cannot exceed £39m over a three-year rolling period - it puts them right on the border for sanctions.
The 2018/19 season, in which the sales of Lloyd Kelly and Adam Webster helped City post profits of £10.9m, has kept them under the limit but next season’s submission for the 2021/22 accounts, won’t have that figure as part of the calculation.
