Wednesday briefing: Birmingham City face potential EFL charge after receiving funding from prospective buyers

Birmingham City could be charged with breaching EFL rules after receiving funding from prospective buyers Paul Richardson and Maxi Lopez without the league’s approval, according to The Daily Mail.

It is understood that Richardson and Lopez have been helping Birmingham with their running costs for some time, and this has led the EFL to investigate whether they are acting as directors of the club, which would constitute a breach of their regulations and lead to disciplinary charges.
