"The penalty, which relates to historic breaches of payment obligations under former owner Dejphon Chansiri, leaves the Owls rooted to the bottom of the Championship table on minus-10 points, effectively sealing their fate for the 2025/26 campaign. This latest sanction compounds the misery for the South Yorkshire club, who were already reeling from an automatic 12-point penalty imposed in October after entering administration."
"These breaches specifically cite the failure to pay player and staff wages on time during March, May, and June of 2025, as well as missed payments to HMRC. While the current administration team, led by Begbies Traynor, attempts to stabilise the club and find a new buyer, the legacy of the previous regime continues to haunt Hillsborough. As part of the ruling, controversial former owner Dejphon Chansiri has been handed a three-year ban from owning or acting as a director of any EFL club."
Sheffield Wednesday have been hit with a further six-point deduction by the EFL, taking the cumulative penalty to 18 points and leaving the club bottom of the Championship on minus-10. The additional sanction stems from historic breaches of payment obligations under former owner Dejphon Chansiri, including failures to pay player and staff wages on time in March, May and June 2025 and missed HMRC payments. The club entered administration earlier this season and received an automatic 12-point penalty in October. Begbies Traynor are managing the administration while seeking a buyer. Chansiri has been banned from EFL ownership or directorship for three years. The EFL says no further deductions are being sought this season, but morale and prospects have been severely damaged.
