EFL points deduction 'very frustrating' but 'I'm not surprised'
- Published
We asked for your thoughts on Sheffield United's points deduction and whether it will affect the rest of this season, after it was decided that the Blades would start their next English Football League campaign with a two-point deduction.
Here are some of your thoughts:
Joe: This is very frustrating and an indication of how the club has been run - not well. It puts into perspective how financially important our promotion was, even if this season has been a write-off. Worryingly, I can see us in this position again and being hit with the second two-point deduction. I highly doubt we will see investment in the squad next year.
Glenn: I'm not surprised or shocked. It is the club's fault as it is run so poorly. We got what we deserved and the club hasn't appealed the decision, so they knew it was coming. I don't think it will have an effect on the season, as many of the players, coaches and staff know the club is getting relegated.
Neill: Disappointing, but it could have been worse and it probably will be when the owners repeat it all over again. As if being the most ill-prepared team to face a season in the Premier League wasn't bad enough. The sooner they are gone, the better we will be.
Matt: Not a big surprise that we face more consequences for such a bad 2022-23 season behind the scenes. It just shows how well Heckingbottom did, bringing us out of the Championship with such alarming off-the-field issues. Here's hoping a big rebuild will settle everything down for us over the summer. Hopefully we can put some more sustainable plans in place.
