The club confirmed significant losses in their latest accounts, which exceed the permitted maximum. They have been charged with breaching profitability and sustainability rules and are likely to face a points deduction next season.

The latest accounts all but guarantee a breach and Football Insider reports that they will almost certainly be docked points next season. The likelihood of a deduction this season is highly unlikely, given there is only one month and seven games - six for Leeds United - remaining
