Sheffield Wednesday hit with ban on transfer spending until January 2027
Sanction due to repeated failure to pay players’ wages
Players paid late in two of last three months of season
Sheffield Wednesday have been banned from spending money on transfers until January 2027 following the repeated failure of the Championship club to pay players’ wages.
The EFL has levied what it calls a “fee restriction” on Wednesday, which will run for the next three transfer windows, including this summer one, after the club “[exceeded] 30 days of late payments” during the past 12 months. Wednesday are to appeal the decision.
