Sheffield Utd docked 2 points for next EFL season

Sheffield United will be deducted two points at the beginning of the next season that they are in the English Football League's jurisdiction, the EFL said on Thursday.

Sounds like good business to me … spend money you don’t have on 5 players that get you promoted, and only get a 2 point penalty if you get relegated

This indicates that the EFL feel duty bound to do something but the sanction in its lack of severity is almost apologetic.

Not really the point though is it.

They cheated to get promotion and prevented a legitimate team from being promoted. If every relegated team does this it will make it almost impossible for the rest of us.

It's going to take them at least 1 win to make that up.

Tough ask.

Same as Leicester this year ..... Edit - and Leeds apparently - both signing players they can't afford that are still with them - giving them an unfair advantage over others...

Same as Everton and Forest …. They both only needed 2 results ….:

The punishments are so small they do not act as any kind of deterrent.

If they owe us Hamer money, should we just ask for him back instead!??

EFL: 'Sheff Utd, you sent Cov the Hamer money right?'

Sheff Utd: 'Yes, sent it months ago'

EFL: 'Doug, have Sheff Utd sent you the Hamer money yet?'

King: 'Did no get an agenda'

EFL: 'Extra points deduction activated'

Time for a proper deterrent, remove all parachute payments for clubs that have transgressed. Start with Sheff Utd and Leicester.

Well, that's them told then, isn't it. That should send a stern warning to the rest of the league....

They are shite, don't even have much to sell for a rebuild. Hamer for similar for what they bought him for perhaps? Ahmedhodzic? Who else is there, they are crap!
Even Brereton Diaz is a loan, can't see him staying.

What a mockery of FFP. It’s achieving none of its states aims whilst consolidating the safaris of the biggest teams.

2 whole points eh...that's ridiculous.
If the penalty is so small, it's almost an invitation to cheat.

I know 2 points is shit but imagine them missing out by 2 points next year. Would be box office.

Two points is nothing it’s no wonder they accepted it, if they come to us and try to renegotiate the next Hamer payment they need to get a firm no and contact the efl for the next points deduction.
