Sheff Utd. points deduction

[Disco down under]

Two points is no kind of punishment at all, especially over a 46 game season. How is this a deterrent?

Leeds' finances came out yesterday, they owe about £190million in unpaid transfer fees, of which £73million is due this year. They can sell players and are due a bit of money but surely that's not right?

No chance they'll make £190m anytime in the next 5 years and I doubt they'd find £73m worth of buyers for their current squad.

Sommerville, Archie Gray and Ampadu will raise them close to £50m, the rest I doubt would get them over 7 figures.

Especially when they’re coming back down with the parachute money, worth it for the sake of 2 points

Nail firmly on the head.

If they cheated and got promotion, all rewards associated with that promotion should be withdrawn. Give them back 2 points but put all parachute money into a equity fund for lower league clubs. Problem goes away.

What I don’t get is how come Everton points deduction is this season but Sheff Utd is next season? They literally make it up as they see fit.

Different governing bodies - Sheff Utd breached EFL rules in their promotion season so they will be punished in their next season back in the EFL
Think Leicester have a PL punishment if they go up this year

Not the first time Leeds have spent what they haven't got.
