Sheffield Wednesday: Preferred bidder told club will face 15-point penalty next season

The EFL has informed the preferred bidder for Sheffield Wednesday that the club will start next season in League One with a 15-point penalty.

What is the point of punishing the club further?
It's all down to the owner.
Can't they punish him individually?
If they were cheating to better their position then fair enough.
But the owner is starving the club of money and letting it die. How is punishing the club with more points deductions going to help?

Totally agree ,
Appears very harsh tp keep punishing the club .
Their fans have been amazing .
There must be a fairer way to penalise clubs .

They should go after the owners not the club.

100%

Going after the club and its supporters defeats the object.

Exactly, plunging the club further in to crisis isn't helping anyone.

If the league actually stepped in sooner and went after the owner, the club wouldn't be in the position it is now.

The culprit for this mess is the one they should be going after.

This fit and proper ownership test they're supposed to have in place is a load of bollocks.

I mean on the other hand the preferred bidder is offering a pretty pitiful 6p in the pound. The main creditor is the owner so he is losing 94% of the money that he put into the club
