Further to the update provided this evening by the Administrators of Sheffield Wednesday, the EFL wishes to clarify that matters in respect of the sale of the Club are ongoing and subject to meeting the strict requirements as set out in the EFL Regulations. The League only received formal written notification of the preferred bidder earlier this week and has subsequently been sent initial documentation in respect of the proposed sale. This information is being reviewed and has allowed the EFL to commence its due diligence. This, however, is only the start of the process and it is important that all those associated with the Club understand that the League is required to follow its comprehensive procedures, which will include seeking further detail from both the Administrators and preferred bidder. There is no set timescale for this to be concluded. In addition, it is also important to state that the EFL Regulations do not prohibit the identity of a preferred bidder being revealed. They do however prohibit parties from announcing that a deal has been concluded subject to EFL approval.

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 that it is not seeking any further points deductions from the Club. A full statement will be issued once these matters have been formally concluded. 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. No further comment will be made at this time.
