Watching this half time shite makes me happy we didn't get to the final. Yanks take the piss. What's wrong with a couple of fat blokes doing half time challenge? #worldcup26
The EFL board waived the -15 against Sheffield Wednesday due to Dejphon Chansiri's refusal to engage with offers on his debt as the only major creditor.
Offers were either outright refused or ignored, and on this basis the EFL ruled the -15 was not to be applied. #swfc
@robstaton Will vaulks is the perfect professional, we've just this weekend stayed at the same venue that the Oxford team stayed at and would have loved to have spoken to him, but at the same time I chose not to approach him as he has a job to do and wish him and his team all the best 👍
@TWFootball1867 @MattTyper1 Bull shit... if he was willing to help the club, supported the club, like he made out he did! This wouldn't be a discussion. The new could be owners🤞 would have a clear drive on the upcoming, and be able to plan. Instead they have been given a fight to keep our club alive!!!
Sheffield Wednesday must be given a fair hearing.
We are calling for independent scrutiny before any 15-point deduction is imposed. The current process lacks transparency and a clear route to appeal.

The man who wants to rescue Sheffield Wednesday, American businessman David Storch, says he has been “informed that a 15-point penalty is set to be imposed at the start of next season” in League One. The outgoing owner Dejphon Chansiri should hang his head in shame at the damage he has inflicted on Sheffield Wednesday. He can’t have a conscience. Otherwise he’d accept a compromise on bid price.
The EFL should have been tougher with Chansiri quicker. The FA should remember it is supposed to be custodians of the game and protect clubs. The importance of an Independent Football Regulator, much delayed by vested interests, is highlighted again by events at Wednesday.
At the moment, the people being punished at Wednesday are fans, players, staff and the man who wants to save them. Shameful situation engulfing a historic club which could have been avoided with stronger leadership by the authorities. And Chansiri locating some principles. #SWFC
@GrantR_1867@Owlsonline This here is exactly what people should be reading and recognising, due to one single owner not being able to adequately run a football club, and has been able to do so for so long!! But, by the EFL'S sanction was able to ruin our club. But yet still gets the backing of the EFL.
The EFL has sanctioned Sheffield Wednesday consistently since 2018.
Over that period, the club has been hit with multiple transfer embargoes spanning nearly a decade. By October 2025, Wednesday were under six simultaneous embargoes — the most any club has ever faced.
On top of that, the club has suffered repeated points deductions. A -12 deduction in 2020/21 severely damaged recruitment and momentum going into that season. Although it was later reduced to -6 on appeal, the damage had already been done — those points ultimately proved the difference between survival and relegation to League One.
In 2025, the situation worsened further. The club received:
•-12 points for entering administration, after the former owner failed to meet basic financial obligations such as paying wages and bills on time
•A further -6 point deduction, again due to the owner’s failure to uphold his responsibilities
This is not a case of a club gaining an unfair advantage — quite the opposite. The club has been placed at a significant competitive disadvantage for years due to sustained mismanagement.
Sheffield Wednesday has endured one of the most damaging ownership periods a club of its size is likely to experience. The former owner’s approach has not only harmed the club financially but also created a toxic environment for staff and supporters alike.
And yet, despite this, there is now an expectation that the same owner should be repaid — while the club continues to face further punishment.
How can that be justified?
The new ownership group should not be penalised for the failures of the previous regime. They should be given the opportunity to restore stability to a club that has lacked it for nearly 26 years.
Imposing further sanctions — such as another -15 point deduction, spending caps, business plan restrictions, and transfer limitations — would only deepen the damage. It risks condemning the club to yet another relegation and prolonging the cycle of instability.
At some point, there has to be recognition that continued punishment is no longer corrective — it is excessive.
The club, its staff, and its supporters deserve the chance to move forward.
