Central to Albion’s objection at the time was around so-called ‘in-kind’ payments, which are not included in PSR calculations, to their charity The Albion Foundation.

The Baggies said at the time the Club Financial Reporting Unit (CFRU) accepted the payments of £2.1m were not part of the final PSR calculation, but the EFL said that had been “disallowed”.

“The CFRU originally made an adjustment to the club’s final PSR calculation

By Total Football News

The debate over West Bromwich Albion’s out‑of‑contract players depends on whether you’re thinking with your heart or your head.

The heart will tell you Jed Wallace should be offered a new deal because of how important the captain is in the dressing room and on the training ground.

Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 West Bromwich Albion: Owls earn first home win of season

By Total Football News

Nothing was at stake for either side, with Sheffield Wednesday long since relegated and the Baggies having secured safety with two games to spare despite their own two-point deduction for financial issues.

Yet there was a surreal party atmosphere around Hillsborough after news broke of the club’s buyout and the EFL’s subsequent withdrawal of a potential 15-point deduction for next season.

Chances were at a premium in the opening half-hour,

James Morrison has been appointed as West Bromwich Albion’s permanent head coach after twice taking on the role on an interim basis this season.

The 39-year-old former Baggies midfielder was also in caretaker charge after Tony Mowbray was sacked last season but this will be his first full-time managerial role.

Morrison is unbeaten in his past 10 games as West Brom boss since losing against Oxford after replacing Eric Ramsay

Analysis – BBC WM’s West Brom commentator Steve Hermon

The decision to give James Morrison the job permanently is a no‑brainer. The work he has done in his third interim spell has been nothing short of remarkable.

When he stepped in after the sacking of Eric Ramsay, Albion were rock bottom in confidence and on a 10‑game winless run.

By Total Football News

West Brom’s punishment late on Friday transformed the complexion of game at The Hawthorns, with the hosts’ status in the second tier back under threat.

And their approach reflected the renewed importance of the fixture, with the Baggies dominating the first-half chances.

A swerving shot from Ousmane Diakite and Dike’s quick thinking, as he pounced on a moment of defensive hesitancy, saw Ipswich goalkeeper Walton tested twice in quick succession.
