The Football League has confirmed Sheffield Wednesday have been handed a further six-point deduction, leaving the beleaguered club rooted to the bottom of the Championship on -10 points.

Reports of the points deduction emerged on Monday morning, with the sanction in regards to the club’s failure to pay players in March, May and June this year, as well as in relation to other non-payments to staff and HMRC. Wednesday were handed a 12-point deduction in October after being placed into administration by former owner Dejphon Chansiri, who has also been banned for being an owner or director of an EFL club for a period of three years.
