US EditionSheffield Wednesday deducted 12 points after entering administration
Sheffield Wednesday faces a 12-point penalty after filing for administration amid unpaid wages, tax debts, and failed sale attempts, leaving them bottom of the Championship, officials said.
- On Wednesday, Sheffield Wednesday, the Championship club based at Hillsborough, filed for administration, and the EFL confirmed a minus six-point sanction after 11 games.
- Financial breaches including HMRC-related embargoes and missed wage payments led to owner Dejphon Chansiri being charged on 3 June, while failed sale efforts in recent weeks prompted appointing insolvency firm Begbies Traynor.
- Fans reacted with protests and boycotts, including ripping out seats at Hillsborough, while attendance dropped from over 26,000 last season to just over 17,000, worsening finances.
- Begbies Traynor, administrators, have taken control from Dejphon Chansiri, and the EFL said it will work with them to resolve uncertainty, while the Supporters' Trust expects strong buyer interest.
- As one of football's oldest clubs with more than 150 years of history, Sheffield Wednesday administrators said every penny spent will support day-to-day running and stabilise the club while seeking a buyer.
