Sheffield Wednesday have been docked a further six points by the EFL for multiple breaches of its regulations as the club remains in administration.

The Owls were initially hit with a 12-point deduction on 24 October after filing for administration, bringing an end to the reign of maligned owner Dejphon Chansiri.

The club are currently rock bottom of the Championship, with this new development leaving them on -10 points.

An EFL statement read: "Sheffield Wednesday FC are to be deducted six points with immediate effect for multiple breaches of EFL regulations relating to payment obligations, with the club's former owner, Mr Dejphon Chansiri, prohibited from being an owner or director of any EFL club for a period of three years.

"The sanctions on both the club and Mr Chansiri can be confirmed after the parties reached an agreement on the appropriate sanction which was subsequently ratified by the chair of the appointed independent disciplinary commission."
