West Bromwich Albion manager James Morrison has publicly addressed the club's recent charge by the English Football League (EFL) for alleged breaches of financial fair play regulations. Speaking at a press conference held on Friday afternoon at the Albion training headquarters, Morrison broke his silence on the matter for the first time since the charge was announced.
Morrison's Firm Stance on Distractions
In his remarks, Morrison was resolute in his commitment to ensuring that discussions surrounding the charge and any potential sanctions do not affect the team's focus. He emphasized the importance of keeping such matters away from the training ground, stating that his primary goal is to maintain a positive and concentrated environment for the players as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.

Morrison highlighted the need for the squad to remain undistracted by off-field issues, focusing instead on their performance on the pitch. He expressed confidence in the team's ability to handle the situation professionally and continue their efforts in the league.
Albion correspondent Lewis Cox provided the latest updates from the club's base, noting that Morrison's address was a key moment in managing the fallout from the EFL charge.
