Sheffield Wednesday have filed for administration amid the club’s mounting financial issues.<\/p>\n

The EFL had previously charged the club with multiple breaches of regulations after they failed to pay players’ wages on time.<\/p>\n

The notice was filed at 10.01am on Friday at a specialist companies court.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
