Sheffield Wednesday has been hit with a 12-point deduction by the EFL.
This comes after the club filed for administration on Friday morning.
Wednesday who were already bottom of the Championship, are now on -6 points.
The club had filed a notice at a specialist companies court around 10:00 am on Friday.
After failing to pay players’ salaries on time, the club was earlier charged with multiple breaches of regulations.
“Whilst this development results in the automatic deduction of 12 points in accordance with regulations agreed by all clubs, it also presents Sheffield Wednesday with the opportunity to move matters towards a successful sale and secure future under new ownership,” an official statement read.
