6 + 2 Point Deductions

A simple Google search will tell you that Aon paid £180m for naming rights of Carrington for 8 years. Our £200m for 10 years also included Matchday sponsorship, Womens and youth sponsorship and large branding at the ground as well as the training ground.

He should also, for balance, reference City's £400m stadium naming deal with Etihad back in 2011. I believe it was then doubled 2 years later.

Looking like Leeds in serious trouble now , 190mil in debt to other clubs for players.

People in Glasshouse's eh ?

This works very well for us, our wages are only 92% of our revenue.

ONLY if they get relegated.


An independent Disciplinary Commission (IDC) has determined that Sheffield United Football Club are to be deducted two points at the start of the next season the Club is in the EFL’s jurisdiction, with a further two points suspended until the end of that same season.

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 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.

The Club has agreed to pay the EFL’s costs in the sum of £310,455.

The IDC’s Decision and written reasons are available to view on EFL.com.



Which seems pretty likely.

How can that be for the 24/25 season ? When we are being screwed now.

 

[Toffeelover]

Also looks like we are being lined up for another 2 - 4 points deduction.

Just when we were about to get big fees for Branthwaite and Onana too...now the big clubs don't have to pay big money for players but the rest of us HAVE To sell

Sounds like the current regime will still be in place for 24/25 then. Causes us another headache as 21/22 is the year with the small loss and that will drop off (calc will be 22/23, 23/24, 24/25) . But I guess we worry about points deductions in 25/26 when we get there.

Signed. Why not?

It's an EFL thing so the next time they get relegated (which will probably be for next season) they start on -2 points with potentially another 2 points added if they don't pays some bills soon.

To some degree, it's less of an issue as it seems half the league will be getting pinged for financial losses by then. Everyone but the protected ones that is.

 

[Blue Willy]

Most “protected ones” being the worst offenders!

 

[efcfanwirral]

By having both PSR and this mad new anti-competitive measure in place at once, it leaves us (and probably others) in the situation where we have to sell players at lower fees to get the high wages off the books to free up some of the wage bill to even have a competitive squad. But by selling at lower fees, we damage our PSR, meaning we can't afford to sign anyone anyway. But if we don't sell, we fail PSR and are already over the % level we're allowed, meaning we need to reduce the squad and...not replace people?

All the while the top clubs mop up the good players at lower fees over the next year or two because the rest of us will fail PSR (if we're already badly run) or at the very least not be able to sign anyone, meaning the quality of the bottom half drastically reduces.

Truly is the death of football...

That's true and if (always a big IF) they are consistent and stick to the formula they used on double jeopardy then clubs getting their first punishment will get done for more points for a three year breach than us for an additional one year.

It's pretty ridiculous how commonplace this could become over the next couple of seasons though.
