Wednesday has endured a disastrous season primarily due to financial woes brought about by the mismanagement of owner Dejphon Chansiri. The club entered administration in October and was deducted 12 points as punishment. They were deducted a further 6 points in December for additional late payments, bringing their total penalty to -18 points.
Wednesday's performance on the pitch was likewise unprecedentedly poor. They finished the regular season with 2 wins, a record low in EFL Championship history. Combined with the 18 point penalty, Wednesday finished with the lowest points total in the history of English football.
