In June 2024, the EFL issued Oxford United with a financial penalty of £3,500 alongside a three-transfer window fee restriction as a result of the Club accumulating 30 days or more of late payments in the 12-month period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
As permitted by EFL Regulations, the Club opted to appeal the imposition of the three-transfer window fee restriction on the basis that the sanction was disproportionate to the offence committed by the Club. The matter was referred to an independent Disciplinary Commission.
**On review of the case, the Commission has determined that the three-transfer window fee restriction should be reduced to one window, suspended for two years, which will be triggered upon a further breach of Regulation 52.6.3. The Club is still required to pay the £3,500 fine.**
It’s related to the loan transfer of Jay Matete from Sunderland

What the fuck…… There’s always rumours of some of our key staff members being horrible behind the scenes but I’m always skeptical about how far the rumours are from truth….
This is immensely frustrating at what should be the best time we’ve had!
But in the end I imagine this will have minimal impact if I’m understanding correctly? Small fine and we only face a 1 year restriction if we have another violation in the next 2 years? Or have I misread that?

Looking at the statement, can Oxford still make transfers unless they get charged for this again?

From what I’m reading, and if I’m wrong please correct me, it looks like Sunderland sent the invoice and chased it up to an old email address, didn’t forward it on to an additional contact for weeks and when they did Oxford paid it in 30 minutes?

From what I understand. Sunderland messaged the wrong contact who forwarded it to head of finance, Carlos Power (yes really) there were two more emails to the wrong contact who forwarded again to mr power.
Finally Sunderland messaged everyone in our directory upon which out CEO paid within 30 minutes and the rumours are that ol’ Powers has been sacked based on that mr powers no longer appears listed as head of finance.

Disgusting punishment, they should have invalidated the 86 milk cup final result.
