It is remarkable to think that despite having a squad of only 15 senior players, and being under five transfer embargoes, Wednesday have six points from their first nine games in the Championship and were a whisker away from claiming victories against Birmingham City and Wrexham. Oh, and they knocked Leeds United out of the Carabao Cup too. All of this has taken place amid protests against the owner, Dejphon Chansiri, who has not been to a match all season.
Because of their transgressions, the EFL is expected to
punish Wednesday with a points deduction, while the newly formed Independent
Football Regulator is set to investigate the club and, in theory, could unseat
Chansiri.
Wednesday’s academy had a fallow period but now the likes of
19-year-old striker George Brown (two goals in three league starts),
20-year-old Northern Ireland goalkeeper Pierce Charles and 19-year-old centre
back Ernie Weaver have grasped their chances, although the latter is now out
for four months with a broken ankle.
HMRC has now filed a winding up petition against the club.
