The English Football League has confirmed Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a further six-point deduction for multiple breaches of regulations relating to payment obligations. The sanction, announced on Monday, leaves the club rooted to the bottom of the Championship on -10 points.
The deduction stems from failures to pay players in March, May and June this year, as well as other non-payments to staff and HMRC. The EFL stated that former owner Dejphon Chansiri has been prohibited from being an owner or director of any EFL club for three years.
Wednesday were previously hit with a 12-point deduction in October after entering administration under Chansiri. The club has won just one league match all season, a 2-0 victory at Portsmouth on 20 September, and has lost its last four games, including a 3-0 defeat to Sheffield United.
The EFL confirmed 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, which is expected to be resolved as part of the exit from administration.
