Posh were charged by the EFL in September for breaching regulations 2.5 & 2.6 of the Owners and Directors’ Test Submission, in respect of the appointment of Paton in January 2022.

Paton was promptly suspended and replaced on an interim basis by Leighton Mitchell.

Posh co-owner Dr Jason Neale told the PT this week: “We expect an outcome from the EFL process in January and at that point the CEO situation will be resolved. At this point we do not expect at points deduction, merely a minor fine.”
