April 11th News. Official announcement, Sheffield Wednesday has been punished to start the season in the Championship with -2 points for owing multiple payments of the team in the 2022/23 season, and if Sheffield Wednesday still fails to pay the corresponding payments within the agreed time, then it will be deducted another 2 points.
Since Sheffield Wednesday's violation occurred when the team was in the Championship, the corresponding supervision is under the jurisdiction of the English Football League (EFL), so the final punishment will not take effect until Sheffield Wednesday is relegated from the Premier League. That is to say, the points of Sheffield Wednesday in this season are temporarily not affected.
Sheffield Wednesday directly promoted to the Premier League as the runner-up of the Championship last season. The team currently has 3 wins, 7 draws, and 21 losses with 16 points, 9 points behind the relegation zone, and the relegation is in a critical situation.
