Birmingham City have been deducted nine points by the English Football League for breaching profitability and sustainability rules

The sanction sees the Blues drop from 13th to 18th in the Championship, five points above the relegation zone.
The EFL says Birmingham incurred losses of nearly £48.8 million pounds between 2015 and 2018.
That is almost £10 million pounds more than the accepted losses of £39 million pounds over a three-year period.
They are the first club to be deducted points since the EFL introduced its new profitability and sustainability regulations at the start of the 2016-17 season.
