ZIMBABWE international Sean Fusire’s Sheffield Wednesday nightmare deepened as the English Football League docked the club twelve points after it officially entered administration.
The 158-year-old club is now sitting on minus six points at the bottom of the Championship table, struggling to climb out of a crisis for the first time in its history.
The EFL confirmed the dramatic move in a statement:
“The EFL can confirm that it has now received formal notice that Dejphon Chansiri, the director of Sheffield Wednesday Football Club, has taken the necessary steps to appoint Administrators to both the Club and also the company which owns Hillsborough. 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.”
Fans and Fusire will now hope that the club’s troubles can be resolved quickly, but the 12-point hit has thrown Sheffield Wednesday into a relegation battle and left their Championship survival hanging by a thread.
