Overview

  • Multiple outlets report HMRC will file a winding-up petition within days over an unpaid tax bill reported between £750,000 and about £1 million.
  • Failure to settle the debt could push the club into administration, which would trigger a points deduction and likely accelerate a sale process.
  • Players have been paid late in five of the past seven months, and there are staff concerns about the next payroll due on October 30.
  • The club is already under multiple EFL embargoes, including over PAYE and VAT issues tied to the tax arrears and repeated wage delays.
  • Wednesday sit 23rd in the Championship with six points from nine matches as fan protests and boycotts intensify and potential buyers, including John Textor, monitor the situation.
