Sheffield Wednesday hit with further six-point deduction to leave Owls 27 points from safety

"While matters remain ongoing in respect of the issues being considered by the independent club Financial Reporting Unit, for alleged breaches in the 2025-26 season prior to the club entering administration, the league can confirm that it is not seeking any further points deductions from the club. Separately, the EFL and Sheffield Wednesday remain in discussions regarding its appeal against the fee restriction, which is currently set to run until the end of the winter 2027 transfer window."

"Sheffield Wednesday have been hit with a further six-point deduction by the EFL, leaving them 27 points from safety in the Championship. Former owner Dejphon Chansiri has also been handed a three-year ban from owning or being a director of any EFL club. The ban relates to failure to pay players in March, May and June this year, as well as other non-payments to staff and HMRC."

Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a further six-point deduction by the EFL, bringing total penalties to minus 10 after an earlier 12-point sanction for administration. The deduction places the club 27 points from safety in the Championship and 27 behind Swansea in 21st. Former owner Dejphon Chansiri has been prohibited from owning or directing any EFL club for three years due to failures to pay players in March, May and June and other non-payments to staff and HMRC. The EFL said it is not seeking further points deductions while the Financial Reporting Unit considers related alleged breaches. Administrators are searching for a new buyer, with a sale suggested could be completed by Friday, and the club remains in talks with the EFL over an appeal against a fee restriction set to run until the end of the winter 2027 transfer window.
