How West Brom's accounts compare to other Championship clubs amid huge losses and only four in profit

The financial issues in the Championship and the EFL have been highlighted in recent weeks - as clubs publish their latest accounts.

The financial issues in the EFL have long been talked about - and Championship owners have spoken in recent weeks about the unsustainable situation in the league.

Charlton and Portsmouth’s owners have talked about rule changes - and have stated without them the single reliance on owners will become ever greater.

It comes as clubs like Leicester and Hull have posted huge losses - while all but four clubs in the Championship have confirmed a profit.

One anomaly in that is Stoke City - who have undergone a restructure and sold the club from Bet365 to John Coates.

Sheffield United, Millwall and Ipswich, who had a season in the Premier League, have posted profits.
