"Sheffield Wednesday have had a further six points deducted by the English Football League (EFL) over repeated failures to pay staff earlier this year. Wednesday were hit with an automatic 12-point deduction when they entered administration in October, following fan protests against Deijphon Chansiri's ownership of the club. They were already 21 points adrift of 21st-placed Swansea City in the Championship table and virtually assured of relegation to League One, and that gap stretched to 27 on Monday."
""Sheffield Wednesday FC are to be deducted six points with immediate effect for multiple breaches of EFL regulations relating to payment obligations, with the club's former owner, Mr Dejphon Chansiri, prohibited from being an owner or director of any EFL club for a period of three years. "The sanctions on both the club and Mr Chansiri can be confirmed after the parties reached an agreement on the appropriate sanction which was subsequently ratified by the chair of the appointed independent disciplinary commission.""
Sheffield Wednesday were deducted six points by the EFL for repeated failures to pay staff earlier in the year. The club had already received a 12-point penalty after entering administration in October following fan protests over Deijphon Chansiri's ownership. The team sat 21 points adrift of 21st-placed Swansea, a gap that stretched to 27 and left relegation to League One highly likely. The club missed payments to players and other staff in March, May and June and failed to make required payments to HM Revenue & Customs. Chansiri was banned from owning or directing any EFL club for three years after an agreed sanction was ratified by an independent disciplinary commission. The team lost 3-2 to Preston, marking four consecutive defeats, with upcoming matches against Blackburn and Watford.
