West Bromwich Albion: Championship club decide against appealing against EFL penalty

By Total Football News

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“The CFRU originally made an adjustment to the club’s final PSR calculation

West Bromwich Albion have to decide ‘heart or head’ over key contract decisions

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.

When lesser characters have hidden, Wallace has stepped up in public, speaking to me on multiple occasions during one of the toughest

From being two points ahead of promoted Coventry City at the top of the Championship in mid-February, Middlesbrough now find themselves three points short of second place.

A seven-game winless run has left Hellberg’s side as outsiders for that second spot behind Ipswich, Millwall and Southampton.

“We need to look at the next two games and try to win them to still have a chance to play for automatics in

Portsmouth: Opinion – One moment could decide Pompey’s relegation fate

Was referee Josh Smith right to send Connor Ogilvie off at Fratton Park on Monday? Should Oxford’s Brodie Spencer have gotten his marching orders in the second half?

I don’t think so and probably, would be my answers but I’m not trying to re-open a debate about refereeing. I am highlighting just how tight things are at the bottom of the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday 0-3 Sheffield United: Blades boss Chris Wilder says team can decide direction of season

By Total Football News

United have made a record-breaking start to the campaign – in an unwanted sense.

No team in second-tier history has ever had a bigger drop-off in points across the first 15 games of a campaign than their hefty deficit of 23 from last season.

The Blades had accrued 33 points by that stage last term – but began Sunday’s derby on just 10.

They have lost 11 league games already,

West Bromwich Albion’s remaining two goalkeepers have ‘good pedigree’ to fill the place left by Alex Palmer, says boss Tony Mowbray.

The Baggies sold Palmer to Premier League strugglers Ipswich Town on transfer deadline day before recalling Josh Griffiths from his loan at Bristol Rovers to compete with Joe Wildsmith for the number one spot.

“The goalkeepers left at this club have got some good pedigree in them,” Mowbray told

The future ownership of Everton will be decided by current owner Farhad Moshiri and not by the Premier League, says the English top flight’s chief executive Richard Masters.

David Moyes: West Ham to decide manager’s future at end of season

By Total Football News

West Ham are still planning to wait until the end of the season before clarifying manager David Moyes’ future.

Moyes’ contract runs out at the end of the campaign and he has refused to say whether his tenure will be extended.

The 60-year-old is the seventh-longest serving manager across England’s four divisions, having replaced Manuel Pellegrini in December 2019.

Moyes steered West Ham clear of relegation trouble that season and
