Punishment to kick in when United next play in ChampionshipTop-flight strugglers also get two-point suspended penalty
Sheffield United will start their next Championship season on minus-two points after an English Football League independent disciplinary commission found they had defaulted on a number of payments to other clubs last season.
A further two-point Championship deduction has been suspended until the end of that season and will be activated if United default on any payment due to another club under a transfer or compensation agreement for more than five business days.
