THE English Football League have confirmed that Sheffield Wednesday will not be subject to any further points deductions after being hit with a fresh six-point penalty.

The punishment related to the club's failure to pay players in March, May and June, as well as other non-payments to its staff and HMRC.

In late October, the Owls were handed a 12-point penalty on October 24 after filing for administration, with the latest sanction all but mathematically consigning the club to relegation to League One.

Wednesday now have minus-10 points. After 18 matches, they are 27 points from safety.

The season may only be in December, but it looks like there will be a very strong likelihood that the Owls will register the lowest ever Championship points total. That currently stands at 23 and was set by Rotherham United in 2016-17.

Despite the development, the fact that the governing body don't intend to punish the club with a further points sanction next term is likely to be viewed a positive development by would-be purchasers of the club, mindful that a substantial penalty ahead of 2026-27 would make it all the more harder to push for promotion - with the Owls destined for League One.

Meanwhile, the league have confirmed that ex-owner Dejphon Chansiri has been banned from owning a football club for three years.

A statement read: "Following earlier media reports, the EFL can confirm that Sheffield Wednesday FC are to be deducted six points with immediate effect for multiple breaches of EFL regulations relating to payment obligations, with Mr Dejphon Chansiri prohibited from being an owner or director of any EFL club for a period of three years,

"While matters remain ongoing in respect of the issues being considered by the independent Club Financial Reporting Unit for alleged breaches in the 2025/26 season prior to the club entering administration, the league can confirm it is not seeking any further points deductions from the club.

"Separately, the EFL and Sheffield Wednesday remain in discussions regarding its appeal against the fee restriction, which is currently set to run until the end of the winter 2027 transfer window. This is likely to be resolved as part of the club’s exit from administration.
