Stinging the Blues
BIRMINGHAM CITY could be hit with a whopping 15-point deduction for breaching financial fair-play rules.
Blues feared a 12-point penalty for their overspend but the Football League presented new rules yesterday which could stiffen the punishment.
Birmingham proceeded with the signing of Kristian Pedersen in the summer despite being under a transfer embargo.
The deal to sign the Denmark Under-21 defender is under investigation for an “aggravated breach,” which would see the club hit with additional sanctions.
