Administration, is the process in which the owners of a bankrupt football club are forced to forfeit their control and sell their assets associated with the club.
Sheffield Wednesday, one of the major clubs of Sheffield, went into administration in the 2025/26 season after the previous owner failed to pay off the clubs' debt, including players wages. As part of the process the club recieved a 18 point deduction this season and will recieve a 15 point deduction next season.
