Sheffield Wednesday Pays Wages Early as Administrators Vet Bidders With £50m Proof of Funds

Overview

• Players and staff were paid a day early under administrator Kris Wigfield after repeated delays in recent months.
• Sky Sports reports two potential buyers have shown at least £50m in proof of funds, with 68 enquiries logged and 25 parties granted access to the club’s accounts.
• Fan spending and Supporters’ Trust fundraising are boosting cash flow, including a £20,000 commitment and more than £10,000 raised by Thursday evening.
• More than 27,000 attended the first post‑Chansiri home game, and staff and administrators view selling out the Norwich fixture as a key showcase for prospective investors.
• The club is operating under a 12‑point deduction that leaves it on minus six, and Sky Sports reports further EFL disciplinary proceedings are pending that could bring additional penalties.
