Overview

• The English Football League says Sheffield Wednesday breached regulations by failing to pay players and staff in full on March and May 2025.
• Owner Dejphon Chansiri faces separate charges for causing the club’s cashflow shortfall despite his commitment to fund its requirements.
• If found guilty, the club could incur a transfer embargo spanning three windows followed by caps on future transfer fees.
• Some non-playing staff received only £700 of their May salaries before further apologies were issued as outstanding payments remained unresolved.
• Sheffield Wednesday must respond to the charges within 14 days; critics including MP Clive Betts and ex-owner Simon Jordan have urged Chansiri to consider selling the club if he cannot resolve the financial crisis.
