Sheff Utd docked points for the start of next season

[Brin]

Apparently they have defaulted on payments again so have had 2 points docked for the start of next season with a further 2 suspended.

Points deductions will be that low soon the FA will be telling clubs they have been very naughty instead. Truly farcical.

Well if they are interested in a bargain with Vicktor we should be insisting on 100% of the money up front.
To get him on the cheap and not actually receive the money would be a bad deal

The 2 points will be deducted if Sheffield United are relegated to the championship, with
2 points deduction suspended, as long as they pay payments due to other clubs on time.
The EFL as no jurisdiction to deduct the points while Sheffield United are in the premier
league.
The sanction relates to the 2022-23 season, when the club defaulted on a number of
payments to other clubs, these defaults cumulatively were in excess of 550 days.

The suspended 2 points deduction will be activated if the club defaults on any payment
due to another club, under a transfer or compensation agreement for more than five
business days, from the due date for payment.

Sheffield United agreed to pay the EFL's costs in the sum of £310,455.


Where do they get that amount of costs from, must pluck it out of thin air.

Can we have a 50 point deduction this year please EFL, in advance of TS breaking all spending rules in the close season to take us to the Prem?
