EFL Dock Sheffield Wednesday Six More Points After Payment Breaches

League officials say no further points penalties are being pursued this season.

Overview

  • Sheffield Wednesday drop to -10 at the bottom of the Championship after a new six-point deduction imposed with immediate effect.
  • Former owner Dejphon Chansiri receives a three-year prohibition from owning or directing any EFL club.
  • The sanction relates to repeated failures to pay players in March, May and June, along with other non-payments to staff and HMRC.
  • The club had already incurred an automatic 12-point deduction in October for entering administration, taking total deductions this season to 18.
  • The EFL says investigations continue but no additional points penalties are planned, and discussions over a fee-restriction appeal are expected to be resolved as part of the club’s exit from administration while administrators run a competitive sale process.
