Grimsby fined for ineligible player in Man Utd win

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.
