In their famous Carabao Cup victory against Manchester United, Grimsby Town received a fine of £20,000.
After the tie was tied at 2-2 after 90 minutes, the Mariners defeated the Premier League team on penalties.
Clarke Oduor, a midfielder on loan from Bradford City the day before, was replaced by the League Two team, who later realized he had been registered one minute after the deadline of 12:00 BST.
According to the EFL, Grimsby personally reported the breach, and that the club’s non-compliance was not deliberate and intended to deceive or deceive.
The remaining £10, 000 will be suspended until the season’s end. They must pay this amount.
The board’s decision to impose a fine “followed precedent” and “went through a comprehensive review of all the evidence and taking into account previous decisions made in relation to crimes committed in the League Cup,” according to the EFL.
In the third round of the competition, David Artell’s side will face Sheffield Wednesday, who are ranked seventh in the championship.
A computer issue was encountered in the EFL when the club received the registration of Oduor, according to a Grimsby statement.
“We fully understand the importance of adhering to competition rules and regulations and the fine that has beenimposed. The club self-reported the breach right away, and it was not intentional.
We have reviewed our procedures thoroughly and put in more effort into preventing this incident.
The late entry of Manchester City into the transfer market on deadline day underscores how troubling these times are for Pep Guardiola and his team.
With no credit for the Englishman, who was one of the few City players who emerged victorious from Sunday’s defeat at Brighton thanks to summer signing James Trafford, he has started all three games so far this season.
City and Guardiola acted quickly with the sale of Ederson to Fenerbahce in an effort to revive a squad that is struggling in the first half of the campaign after the Italian international had been sold to Paris St-Germain for £26 million.
City defeated Tottenham and the Seagulls to start the Premier League season with a thumping 4-0 victory over Wolves, but they have since come off the ground again.
Guardiola criticized City’s late capitulation on Sunday, letting them lose 2-1 after conceding in the final minute and losing the game by a score of 1-0.
With their summer spending now totaling more than £180 million, Guardiola has turned to Donnarumma to help them resolve their issues.

How Ederson changed the role of goalkeeper
Premier League teams travel abroad for a while, but City’s preparations aren’t ideal for their crucial game against Manchester United on Sunday, September 14.
Ruben Amorim, the manager of the Red Devils, appears to have been in charge during a crisis, but Guardiola’s team is one point ahead of them.
Former City goalkeeper Joe Hart claimed that the current situation is “not a crisis” but rather a “difficult moment” in defense despite “alarming patterns” in the defense.
Donnarumma, a former AC Milan keeper, is said to have led a squad that has lost Kevin de Bruyne, Kyle Walker, and Jack Grealish from the dressing room, according to sources.
His big-game success helped him win the Treble with PSG last year, and England’s hearts were broken by his heroic penalty shootout heroics in the 2020 European Championship final.

Under Guardiola, City’s philosophy has always been to play back from the back with Ederson, but based on current evidence, Donnarumma may not be able to create as many attacks and fizz passes into the middle as the Brazilian could.
Ederson’s departure comes after eight years as undisputed number one, which included eight assists and six league titles. He also revolutionized the role of a goalkeeper in English top flight.
Former City keeper Peter Schmeichel remarked on BBC Radio 5 Live, “The way Pep likes to play and what has made them one of the most successful teams in Premier League history revolve around Ederson and his incredible ball control.”
Managers tell players to avoid pressing on him when they play at Man City; this wastes energy. Even in front of his own goal, he can play the short game. He can pass for 80 yards even when under pressure. He has always been a threat to everyone.
We are unaware of the circumstance. Are they still together? Did Ederson request a departure? Everyone has had an opportunity, but Ederson is not the same as him.
From where does Trafford depart?
In the summer of 2017, Trafford signed for £27 million, and he was anticipating a top-five spot with Ederson when he competed for it.
However, with doubts lingering over the Brazilian’s future, 22-year-old Trafford was given the gloves and kept a clean sheet on his debut with a strong performance at Molineux.
However, he struggled a lot in the subsequent game when Tottenham won with a score of 2-0 at home. Although Guardiola had the option to leave him for the trip to Brighton, he was still expected to start in goal, and despite City losing once more, he managed to save five shots.
According to club insiders, Trafford has an “amazing” future and is older than they think, which was their intention when they made his signing in July.
Guardiola should have plenty of first-team opportunities this year, despite the fact that City has played in four competitions and suddenly doesn’t rate Trafford.
The National Football League is beginning to play again this fall, which means another season of football is getting closer.
This season, there will be seven games outside of the United States, which is the most in any NFL campaign history.
Which team, however, merits your support? How do I decide?
BBC Sport can assist you.
We’ve put the numbers together for you across a variety of categories, and if that’s not enough, we’ve got a quiz at the end to help you do the math.
Who has won the most Super Bowls?
Let’s start with the trophy-winners, the top dogs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers and the New England Patriots, both of whom have won six Super Bowls, have been in the spotlight since Bill Belichick’s legendary coaching days at the turn of the century.
The Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers, both of which have won five games, are not far behind.
The Green Bay Packers have the most NFL championships, with 13 coming from the previous four Super Bowls.
Which NFL team is the oldest?
Silverware may not appeal to you as much.
There are four teams that have existed for at least 100 years. In the 1920s, the NFL had its names as the Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, New York Giants, and Packers.
Which team is most close to the UK?
We calculated the distance between the franchise’s stadium in the US and the location in Lancashire for this exercise.
With a distance of just over 3, 000 miles, East Coast teams like the Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and the two New York rivals, the Giants and Jets, are closest in terms of that metric.
The biggest stadium is owned by who?
The US has a lot of stadiums that are appropriate for any NFL game because it is a major event.
The Cowboys’ 93, 363 were the team’s biggest attendance over the previous four seasons, and they set the record for the largest crowd at their AT&, T Stadium home, which can hold about 100, 000 spectators.
Who has the climate that is both warm and cool?
We examined the temperature range from highest to lowest across all 32 areas using US weather data from 1991 to 2020.
The Cardinals and the Raiders of Las Vegas will likely play in the hottest seasons, with Florida’s Miami Dolphins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers also enjoying scorching summers and mild winters.
Who travels the most outside the United States?
The Jacksonville Jaguars have played in the UK 13 times, including in back-to-back weeks over the past two years, since their debut season began in 2013 in London.
The Bills and Dolphins are one game ahead of the Bills and Dolphins, who are tied with them with eight games outside of the US.
The English Premier League dominated the big name moves as the summer transfer window in Europe came to an end on Monday.
When the window reopens for a month in January, players will be transferable by clubs on the continent.
The most important talking points from the summertime are examined by Al Jazeera Sport:
Newcastle to Liverpool Alexander Isak
In terms of drama and finances, Isak’s move to Liverpool was the biggest transfer of the summer.
The 25-year-old’s 125 million ($167.4 million) move is a record transfer fee for the country, surpassing Chelsea’s 107 million ($143.3 million) bid for Enzo Fernandez from Argentina in 2023.
After Newcastle United defeated Liverpool in the March 2025 final, Alexander Isak celebrates with the League Cup trophy.
What had already been a stressful period for all parties involved was finally over thanks to the fact that the move didn’t take place until the closing day of the window.
The Swedish international made no secret of his desire to leave Newcastle, ending up spending time with Real Sociedad instead of his former club, even before expressing his disapproval on social media for breaking promises.
This summer, Liverpool had already paid a club record sum of 100 million pounds ($133.9 million) for Florian Wirtz. According to appearances, the deal could reach 116 million pounds ($156 million).
Senne Lammens, Royal Antwerp, to Man Utd
Since David De Gea left the club in 2023, Manchester United’s goalkeeping issues have been their main focus throughout this upheaval.
There were even rumors that the 34-year-old former Spanish international could be brought back to Old Trafford from Fiorentina because of how desperate the situation was.
Erik ten Hag, the then-manager, gave Andre Onana the gloves, but the Cameroonian stopper has made a number of costly errors.
Altay Bayindir’s goalkeeper replaced Onana, but he too has failed to impress, especially in the season-opening defeat to Arsenal.

For United, who had reportedly signed Argentina’s World Cup-winning keeper Emiliano Martinez, Lammens’ arrival is a gamble, worth 18.1 million pounds ($24.2)
Lammens hasn’t yet made his Belgium international debut, but the 193cm (6ft-4-inch) stopper is viewed as a long-term replacement for Martinez, who is 32.
However, United requires stability at the back, and Lammens will be in particular attention as he struggles to find his footing amid the hustle and bustle of the English top flight.
Brentford to Newcastle Yoane Wissa
Wissa’s arrival from Brentford for 55 million pounds ($73. 7 million) softens Isak’s departure from Liverpool for Newcastle and their fans.
The international from the Democratic Republic of the Congo added 19 Premier League goals to his total for the club’s 149 appearances as of 2021.

Similar to Isak, Wissa shared his feelings in a public forum on Sunday when he expressed his desire to leave the West Londoners.
The 28-year-old needs to concentrate on resolving the 27 goals Isak scored in 42 games for Newcastle last season.
A no-go for Palace defender Marc Guehi at Liverpool
On the final day of the deal, not only the confirmed transfers made headlines, but also the collapsed deals.
The prolonged courtship of Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi by Liverpool was one of them.

The 25-year-old England international had been linked with moving to Anfield for some time, possibly even more than Isak, and even advanced to a Monday medical on Merseyside.
Due to Palace’s inability to find a replacement for the England international, the deal passed in the closing hours of the deal, which will undoubtedly be a blow to Guehi given the complex nature of the deal.
It is late for Ederson, Donnarumma, Antony, Hojlund, Sancho, and Jackson.
On the last day of the transfer window, Isak and Guehi were among the only long-term transfer targets sweating. Other rumored maneuvers also finally crossed the line.
The 32-year-old keeper joined Turkiye’s Fenerbahce for 12.1 million pounds ($16.22 million) after falling from grace at Manchester City.
He spent eight years with Etihad Stadium, where he was a key player in the club’s unprecedented four successive Premier League titles and the club’s exclusive five-trophy year in 2023.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, a surprise departure from Paris Saint-Germain, who was responsible for the Brazilian’s successful Champions League campaign. Donnarumma helped the French giants win the trophy in their first treble last year.
A five-year contract has been agreed between the Italian and City.
Gianluigi Donnarumma celebrates winning the Champions League title after defeating Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the previous season.
Three Manchester United players were all heading for Old Trafford. After being loaned to the Spanish side last season, Brazilian winger Antony made a comfortable move to Real Betis.
After leading the United line last season, Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund struggled for goals while leading the team. And for the time being, Jadon Sancho is no longer imprisoned at Old Trafford. Victor Lindelof, a Swedish defender for United, and the former England winger Victor Lindelof have both signed for Aston Villa on loan.
Nicolas Jackson’s move to Bayern Munich was another expected departure that was postponed until the last minute.
The Senegal international has since been signed on loan with Bayern having to pay 56.2 million pounds ($75.33 million) for the 24-year-old as a result of the off-season decision.
Babyshambles just announced that they’re reuniting to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Down in Albion, which will see them play across the nation next year.

This is how you can see Babyshambles on tour starting in 2019. The band’s first tour de force in more than ten years will be Down in Albion, their first studio album, on the 20th anniversary. Pete Doherty took a break from his other band, The Libertines, to form the band.
Doherty once said, “It’s unfinished business, and everywhere I go, I get’what’s happening with the ‘shambles’. For me, it’s obvious that I want to play some of those old tunes and have a little shindig.
However, the band acknowledges that heartache was what spurred them to re-enter the road. Former lead guitarist Patrick Walden passed away in June at the age of 46. Drew McConnell, a base player, said: “We have to decide to go on a tour right now.

Since Patrick’s tragic passing, according to them, the band has since decided to continue celebrating the anniversary.
Down in Albion, Shotter’s Nation, and Sequel To The Prequel are three albums Babyshambles have released throughout their careers. Due to the band members not having been in direct communication, it was “hard” to say when the reunion discussions had taken place in a new interview.
He said, “I don’t think the four of us have been in the same room for so long,” in an interview with NME. He continued, adding that he and Mick had been playing with the idea of tiptoeing into “polite society” for about four to five years.

Before splitting in 2009, Babyshambles had been scheduled to back Oasis, but they were ultimately dropped from the bill because they failed to make the tour’s opening night. It’s unfortunate that no one in the audience believed that it wasn’t my fault, but I was willing to accept that. Pete claimed that that was the missus who had purposefully kept me.
He just appeared so peaceful, and I didn’t want to wake him up, he said, “OK cool,” and Pete said he “hopes” there will be new material because he has already written a song that he thinks could work for the band.

He claimed that releasing a single as well as a few B-sides would be “nice,” and that he already has some concept ideas ready.

The band will play venues in London’s renowned Brixton Academy, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Leeds, Nottingham, Norwich, and Plymouth. Hits like F*** Forever were included on the 2005 album Down In Albion.
Tickets for the live performances go on sale on September 5 and there is a pre-sale on September 3.
