Birmingham City are set to be docked nine points for breaching the EFLs profitability and sustainability rule

The Midlands outfit have been docked nine points over breaches of the English Football Leagues profitability and sustainability rules.The punishment leaves the Blues just five points above the drop zone with eight games remaining and nervously looking over their shoulders.It is talkSPORT’s understanding that Birmingham have avoided any transfer restrictions, as well as a potential fine.A huge 66/1 for the drop on March 4, the price has crashed after four successive losses.Three teams remain odds-on to go down to the third tier: Ipswich (1/100), Bolton (1/66) and Rotherham (10/11). Commenting on the recent developments, Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “This will be a bitter pill to swallow for Birmingham fans.“After years of mismanagement Garry Monk had brought some stability back to the pitch.“However, this points deduction has sent them hurtling back towards the drop zone.“It could have been worse though, many had predicted a 12 point deduction would have seen their odds shorten dramatically.”
