Seemingly it is in the League Cup:
"The EFL said the board's decision to issue a fine "followed precedent" and was taken after a "comprehensive review of all the evidence and considering prior decisions taken in respect of offences in the League Cup".
On the three previous occasions ineligible players have been fielded in the competition, the clubs making the error have also been fined."

And besides, it's an early highlight of the football season for fans everywhere so glad it's not been lost. |  |

They missed the deadline by less than 2 minutes.
Would you have preferred it if the tie was awarded to Man U? |  |

They missed the deadline by only a minute and self referred when they realised the error. Would’ve been extremely harsh to throw them out. |  |

I didn't know that. Thanks. No complaint then. | |

2 minutes is irrelevant, and to answer your question, yes if that were the precedent, which I know it is in the FA Cup, but apparently isn't in the League Cup, so seems the fine is appropriate. | |

Depends on the context but if the error is down to Grimsby then yes, they should be thrown out and Man Utd awarded the win. Based on what I have seen, the error is on the Grimsby side.
I'm pretty sure if it was the other way round, people would be clamouring for Grimsby to be awarded the win talking about the "big club bias".

I have just realised that of course the precedent in the EFL Cup is to fine the club and the FA Cup is the one that kicks you out, so I shall get back in my box . . . [Post edited 2 Sep 14:47]

Do you seriously think that Man U would be thrown out? |  | | |

Then they knowingly fielded an ineligible player. Simple as that, should have been thrown out. |  |

The FA are far more zealous (or pedantic) than the Football League in these cases. |  |
