"Sheffield Wednesday's inevitable relegation from the Championship could be confirmed this weekend. The Owls' 2025/26 season was effectively over before it had begun due to the downfall of former owner Dejphon Chansiri, whose calamitous tenure ended when the club entered administration in October. A series of transfer restrictions subsequently left the team with a threadbare squad that could not compete in the second tier."
"Wednesday were docked 12 points for entering administration and received a further six-point deduction for breaches of payment obligations, but have picked up just 11 in total leaving them on -7 for the campaign. Henrik Pedersen's side head into the weekend 41 points adrift of 21st-place West Bromwich Albion with 14 Championship games remaining. It means Wednesday's relegation will be confirmed if they fail to beat rivals Sheffield United at Bramall Lane on Sunday lunchtime."
Sheffield Wednesday's 2025/26 season collapsed after former owner Dejphon Chansiri's downfall led to administration in October. Transfer restrictions imposed after administration left the squad threadbare and unable to compete in the Championship. The club were docked 12 points for entering administration and a further six points for breaches of payment obligations, leaving them with just 11 points and a -7 total. Henrik Pedersen's side sit 41 points adrift of 21st-place West Bromwich Albion with 14 games remaining. Relegation will be confirmed if Wednesday fail to beat Sheffield United, or if Blackburn avoid defeat and West Brom beat Coventry. If results go against them their relegation could be sealed by February 22, which would appear to be the earliest confirmation in English football history compared with Stockport County's post-war record on March 16, 2002.
