Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a further six-point deduction by the English Football League for regulatory breaches, leaving them 27 points adrift of Championship safety.
Former owner Dejphon Chansiri was also handed a three-year ban from being an owner or director of any EFL club.
BBC Radio Sheffield reports that their latest deduction follows non-payments to players in March, May and June, as well as other non-payments to staff and HMRC.
The Owls were docked 12 points in October after the club went into administration.
This latest failure leaves them with minus 10 points and 27 behind Swansea in 21st place.
Investigations into the club’s conduct during the current season continue but the EFL says it does not intend to deduct any further points.
“The EFL can confirm that Sheffield Wednesday FC will be deducted six points with immediate effect for multiple breaches of EFL regulations relating to payment obligations, and Mr Dejphon Chansiri is prohibited from being an owner or director of any EFL club for a period of three years,” a statement on Sheffield Wednesday’s website read.
“While matters remain ongoing regarding matters being considered by the independent Club Financial Reporting Unit, for alleged breaches in the 2025-26 season before the club entered administration, the league can confirm that it is not seeking further point deductions from the club.
“Separately, the EFL and Sheffield Wednesday remain in talks over their appeal against the fee restriction, which currently runs until the end of the 2027 winter transfer window. This is likely to be resolved as part of the club’s exit from administration.”
Chansiri led a Thai consortium that first took charge of Sheffield Wednesday in 2015, but the entry into administration effectively ended his decade-long ownership.
Administrators are in the process of trying to identify a preferred bidder to take over the club and have previously indicated they hope to have one in place by Friday.
