Sheffield Wednesday face legal action as Cardiff City and Swansea's Championship rivals want them relegated this season
Saturday 1st August 2020
Sheffield Wednesday's Championship rivals have threatened legal action following the Owls' points deduction.
The Owls have been hit with a 12-point deduction after a breach of the EFL's profitability and sustainability rules relating to the club's sale of Hillsborough.
Yet there has been some controversy over the punishment due to an independent disciplinary committee opting to enforce the punishment from next season rather than immediately.
It means the Owls will start next season on -12 points - a blessing in disguise when considering the alternative.
If Wednesday's points deduction had come into force immediately, it means the club would have been relegated, with Charlton Athletic being spared the drop.
The Addicks have now issued a statement threatening legal action over the decision to defer Wednesday's punishment until the start of next season.
Charlton finished eight points behind the Owls and just a point off safety and argue that the decision to implement the deduction next season makes no sense.
