Sheffield Wednesday has been docked 12 points following their entry into administration. This administrative move was a last-ditch effort to avoid the club's liquidation, a fate that befell Bury and Macclesfield. The administrators from Begbies Traynor now oversee the club and its Hillsborough stadium, tasked with finding a new owner.

Current owner Dejphon Chansiri is no longer involved in the club's management, with all decisions now in the hands of the new administrators. The search is on for a buyer who will acquire both the club and the stadium, ensuring Sheffield Wednesday's future in the English Football League (EFL).

Staff and fans have greeted this change with optimism, hoping for a more stable future. Despite the financial difficulties, the administrators have assured that they will strive to pay staff salaries until a new owner is found. They emphasize the importance of fan support, which could play a crucial role in stabilizing the club in the short term.

As a sports journalist, I can say that the situation at Sheffield Wednesday highlights the challenges many clubs face in today's football world. Despite the difficulties, there is hope that with the right support and new leadership, the club can return to the path of success.
