"Sheffield Wednesday have been resigned to relegation all season after Dejphon Chansiri's tumultuous era came to an end with a terrible start to the season, a makeshift squad, administration, and points deductions. Even without their 18-point deduction, Wednesday would be rock bottom of the Championship and a long way adrift of safety after claiming just one win and eight draws from their 30 games so far this season."
"The earliest that Sheffield Wednesday could possibly be confirmed for relegation is Saturday, February 14, when they would still have another 14 games to play. It is not possible for Wednesday to go down this weekend even if they lose to Swansea on Sunday lunchtime, as the largest possible gap to safety at the end of the weekend is 42 points with 15 games still to play."
"However, another defeat for Wednesday against promotion-chasing Millwall would spell curtains if the team in 21st at the end of Valentine's Day have at least 36 points. If Norwich beat Blackburn on Saturday lunchtime, though, then Wednesday definitely can't go down in the next two games. With second-from bottom Oxford irrelevant for these purposes, that would happen if at least five of the following six things to occur on top of Wednesday losing both of the next two."
Sheffield Wednesday sit rock bottom of the Championship, hampered by a terrible start, makeshift squad, administration and an 18-point deduction. The club has won once and drawn eight of 30 matches, leaving them well adrift of safety even without the deduction. Mathematical relegation could be confirmed as early as Saturday, February 14, with 14 games remaining. Relegation cannot occur this weekend because the maximum gap to safety would be 42 points with 15 games left. A defeat to Millwall could confirm relegation if the 21st-placed team reaches at least 36 points, while other results could delay confirmation.
