Sheffield Wednesday have avoided a 15-point deduction after the EFL reviewed their insolvency policies. The decision came after new owner David Storch's takeover and his offer to former owner Dejphon Chansiri.
What happened?
The EFL set to review insolvency policies with Championship clubs unhappy that Sheffield Wednesday have avoided a 15-point penalty. The Owls confirmed David Storch's takeover on Sunday and a 15-point deduction was waived.
Why it matters for Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday's former owner, Dejphon Chansiri, is owed a quarter of the £64m he'd given to the club in loans during his tenure. New owner David Storch refused to pay him, feeling that the Thai businessman had left the club in a parlous state.
What comes next?
The EFL is expected to hold new talks with clubs before the start of next season, where the issue of the insolvency policy will be discussed. A number of other Championship clubs are unhappy that Wednesday have avoided a points deduction for the start of next season in League One.
