Sheffield Wednesday have filed for administration as the club’s financial issues continue.
The club had previously been charged by the EFL with multiple breaches of regulations, following their failure to pay players’ wages on time.
At 10.01am on Friday, the notice was filed at a specialist companies court.
The club’s financial issues under current owner Dejphon Chansiri have been well-documented, with reports that a winding-up order from HMRC was imminent.
Now, a notice to appoint an administrator has been filed at the Insolvency and Companies Court, which is a specialist court within the High Court.
Wednesday are understood to owe in the region of £1m to HMRC in unpaid tax.
This is believed to be the catalyst for finally applying for administration.
