Wednesday found guilty of breaching financial rulesCharlton consider legal action over delayed sanctionSheffield Wednesday have been docked 12 points for a financial irregularity committed when the owner, Dejphon Chansiri, bought the Hillsborough stadium from the club for £60m in June 2019 and the profit was backdated to the previous season’s accounts.Crucially, the points deduction will take effect next season, 2020-21, not in the season just concluded, when such a penalty would have relegated Wednesday.
