"It's happened again, it's happened agaiiiinn... our poorley run finances are slightly better than yours so we may stay up... it's happened again"

Hopefully a 20 point deduction and we stay up. Its happened again.

in November last year, Wednesday were placed under a registration embargo by the EFL regarding a debt to HMRC.

When Reading failed to pay players in 2023, it was reported the non-binding EFL guidelines stated that clubs could face a three point deduction for each late payment breach, although the league sought a four-point penalty in that case, with a further four suspended. They ended up having one point taken away.

Wigan were docked four points twice by an independent disciplinary commission in 2023 for paying players late in March and May of that year, meaning they started the 2023/24 season on minus eight points.

Morecambe had a suspended three-point deduction when they failed to pay players wages in March 2023.

As talking finances Wrexhams income was greater than Wednesdays last season at £23m
Lots of clubs on the edge and most don't own their own grounds there's a moral to that I think...

A growing number of fans are angry and demanding answers after it emerged that, not for the first time during Dejphon Chansiri's reign as Sheffield Wednesday owner, the players have not been paid on time.

Many are asking why the club sells season tickets in an early-bird window before Christmas, yet in March, there isn't enough money to even pay wages?

A statement claims it's down to "significant sums of money" being owed to Chansiri's other businesses, "impacting immediate cashflow".

However, you get the sense patience for a lot of people has run out.

The Owls were placed under a second registration embargo in 12 months by the EFL last November over amounts owed to HM Revenue and Customs. Now this.

How financially sustainable is this club? What exactly is the future of Sheffield Wednesday? These are questions that need to be answered with more than just a statement. Fans are worried and some will feel embarrassed. They deserve answers.

This latest admittance will lead to growing calls for Chansiri to sell the club.
The Owls might be five points off the play-offs but they lack the solid base that typically accompanies teams challenging for the top flight. Fans dream of a Premier League return after 25 years but it's not realistic in this environment. The club is a long way off in terms of infrastructure and finances.

It's the latest reason why a talented young manager in Danny Rohl, the club's greatest asset, may leave amid reported interest from elsewhere.
