I can’t find anything to back this up - but I’m pretty sure that I read somewhere that if an EFL club is late in paying its staff on time for so many months. The club in question will face a points deduction penalty or their players can hand in their notice and can leave on a free transfer with no compensation due. As I said, I can’t find anything to back this up but I’m sure I have read it somewhere. |  | |  |

Yep. 2 months non-payment of wages in 12 month period means players can hand in notice and I assume walk No transfer or loan fees until 2027 👀 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/jun/18/sheffield-wednesday-ban-transfe [Post edited 18 Jun 15:13]

My best guess would be that April's wages were paid on time, and the March/May wages are either still outstanding, or got paid late. |  |

I do remember something similar at Bury when they went bankrupt. The players were free to leave as their contracts were with a club that effectively no longer existed. Like you, I'm not 100% sure and I might have confused all this with something else. |  |

Would that also apply to managerial staff...? |  |

My point was why pay April's rather than March's? Surely you pay the most outstanding one first? |  |

You're applying logic to the running of Sheffield Wednesday. |  | |  |

It was that March and May wages were paid late not that they weren't paid at all. |  | |  |

Cheers, I misunderstood the article then. I read "non-payment" as not paid. |  |

Meanwhile at SWFC…. on 17:43 - Jun 18 with 362 views | Swansea_Blue | Presumably the bar for ‘fit and proper’ is so low that Jay Tabb could walk under it? Seems crackers. If the club/owner are facing multiple breaches of regs, which would have been known about 10 days ago, that should prevent them passing the test? It sounds crazy to pass him. Edit- I don’t know why he’d be facing an owner’s test now either. That sounds strange, he’s been there ages. I see he’s trying to get rid and there are some bids floating around.
