Sheffield Wednesday Docked Six More Points

Sheffield Wednesday have been deducted a further six points by the English Football League (EFL) for multiple breaches of payment regulations, leaving the club on minus 10 points at the bottom of the Championship.

The sanction relates to the club's failure to pay players in March, May and June of this year, as well as other non-payments to staff and HMRC. The EFL confirmed the deduction with immediate effect on Monday.

This follows a 12-point deduction imposed in October after the club entered administration under former owner Dejphon Chansiri, who has now been banned from being an owner or director of any EFL club for three years.

The EFL stated that it is not seeking any further points deductions for alleged breaches in the 2025-26 season prior to administration. Discussions continue regarding the club's appeal against a fee restriction running until winter 2027.

Sheffield Wednesday have won just one league match this season, a 2-0 victory at Portsmouth in September, and have lost their last four games, including a 3-0 defeat to Sheffield United.
