apologies if already discussed...
noticed that leicester are saying they're relegated subject to wba's potential points deduction.
anyone know when the decision is likely to happen and if it could put wba back in peril before our game? |  |

Surely they can't/won't do that this late in the season? |  |

would be ridiculous if leicester are the ones to benefit given the years of delay in their paltry points deduction! | |

If it keeps Leicester engaged for Friday to try to finish 3rd bottom and as close to WBA as possible that might not be the worst thing. |  | | |

It's an infringement on last year's account, so has to apply this season. However it's meant to be relatively small overspend (less than £1m), so any point reduction will be small and if WBA look safe, they'll happily co-operate, take 1-2 points without bothering to appeal (the thing that drags things out) and have a clean slate for next year. |  | | |

From what I recall, West Brom's infringement (if its upheld / confirmed) was for the 24/25 season. EFL rules say that any points-deduction penalty should be applied in the following season (25/26). |  |

If it's true that it's a really small overspend, I can't imagine WBA gets a 4 point or greater penalty. | | | |

No I expect you're right, nor should they really based on the reported circumstances of it.
But if we're going down the 'something to play for' route (which I don't particularly prescribe to anyway tbh, I think that works both ways) its either true that West Brom are safe and Leicester are down, or its not. We can't really say WBA need the points to be certain but Leicester are already down.
I think the more pertinent point is WBA are in good form under Morrison and they're playing some good football, that's what makes it a tough game at the weekend as much as any other factor. | | | |

How did you manage to get 'complaining about a non-instantaneous point deduction' from 'we are confirmed relegated subject to possible WBA points deduction'?
Not a single Leicester fan is complaining about West Brom it just puts a slight asterisk by the relegation.
You seem just determined to find things to complain or slag off so you have a 'hot take' you can write on here. |  |

Good point, accepted.
I didn't read it properly. I did think (incorrectly) that the OP was saying that Leicester were moaning about WBA not having had their points deducted yet.
I was completely, utterly and inexcusably wrong after being too lazy to read it properly.
Apologies to you and all the other Leicester fans. | |

Apology accepted. I'd hazard a good guess I'm the only Leicester fan on here you risked offending.
It would be beyond rich for anyone at Leicester to point to matters out of their hands for the reason for relegation, especially now it's looking likely we'd have dropped regardless of the -6pts. | |

Feels totally wrong at such a late stage.
I know it's likely to be irrelevant but it could potentially have had huge ramifications and totally undermined the sporting integrity of the competition.
There could have been games where teams were playing for a point when 3 are now needed, or where they were desperately chasing a win when a draw would have kept them up.
I get there have to be rules but I really hate it when things aren't decided on the pitch. | | | |

As I’ve said elsewhere, I really wouldn’t be surprised to see Leicester go on a little run now. Pressure off the players, playing for pride and trying to put themselves in the shop window ahead of relegation.
Even more so if WBA end up in a position that Leicester could catch them |  |
