Birmingham have been sucked into a relegation battle

The Blues were the first club to be penalised for breaking the English Football Leagues profitability and sustainability rules that were introduced in May 2017.The Championship club have dropped from 13^th to 18^th in the table and are now just five points above the relegation zone.And now, big spenders Aston Villa, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby could also come under serious scrutiny from the EFL, according to the Daily Mail.Aston Villas new owners were warned immediate action was needed to avoid breaching profit and sustainability rules when they bought the club last year.To avoid a similar punishment to rivals Birmingham, they might have to sell star man Jack Grealish, who has been linked with a move to the Premier League since Villas relegation to the second tier two seasons ago.Sheffield Wednesday reportedly need to balance their books after a three-year spending spree, while Derby are also suffering huge monthly losses. A source told the Daily Mail: “There were heated exchanges at Forest this week.The bigger clubs want change, for obvious reasons, but understandably the smaller clubs who are operating within the rules are less than sympathetic.Birmingham entered a hearing on Monday and were docked nine points for excessive spending over the past few years, which saw a wage increase from 22million to 38million under managers Gianfranco Zola and Harry Redknapp.The Blues also ignored a transfer embargo by signing left-back Kristian Pedersen last summer.
