“The sanction relates to the 2022–2023 season, when the club defaulted on a number of payments to other clubs,” an EFL statement said. If the club doesn’t make any payments to another club as required under a transfer or compensation agreement for more than five business days after the payment deadline, the suspended points deduction will be initiated.”
The EFL further said that the total number of defaults that resulted in the suspension exceeded 550 days.

“Sheffield United notes today’s statement from the EFL regarding breaches by the club of regulations 52.2.3 and 52.2.4 in the 2022–2023 season,” a statement from Sheffield United said.
“It has been decided that the Blades will receive a two-point punishment to start the following season in which the club is under the EFL’s authority. The club argued in the proceedings that before the club was informed of the referral, the relevant amounts that the EFL had depended upon had either been renegotiated with new future payment dates adhered to, or had been paid in full on many instances just days after they were originally due.
