"Sheffield Wednesday have been relegated from the Championship with 13 games to play. The administration-hit side were deducted 18 points this season, and their inevitable relegation was confirmed with a defeat at city rivals Sheffield United on Sunday, which left them on -7 points, 41 adrift of safety with just 39 to play for. It is the earliest relegation in the history of the English Football League."
"A large number of the senior squad were sold or released in a chaotic summer marked by then owner Dejphon Chansiri's failure to pay wages on time, which left the club under numerous embargoes. Administration inevitably followed in October, and Wednesday's depleted squad, further weakened by January exits, have struggled to compete, with one win all season and now 10 successive league defeats."
