Football finance expert discusses the threat of a points deduction for Bristol City next season
Bristol City have been working hard to significantly reduce their losses for their next set of accounts to help them meet the EFL's Profit & Sustainability regulations
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.
City CEO Richard Gould has already addressed the prospect of potential punishment further down the road. Speaking to Bristol Live in January, Gould said: “We just want to be treated fairly and we have to get the argument out on the table.
