Morecambe Football Club has been deducted three points from the 2023/24 League Two table by an independent Disciplinary Commission, significantly impacting their chances of reaching the League Two play-offs. This decision comes amid a broader context of financial regulation in football, with Sheffield United facing a two-point deduction and Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, also facing points deductions for breaches of financial rules. Premier League clubs have unanimously agreed to introduce new financial fair play regulations from next season, aiming to cap spending on players and address financial sustainability. The changes reflect a growing concern over financial practices within football, highlighted by significant spending on agent fees, with Chelsea's expenditure on agent fees reaching £75.1m.
