Sheffield Wednesday: EFL charge Owls with misconduct following Hillsborough sale

Published on: 14 November 2019

Sheffield Wednesday have been charged with misconduct by the English Football League after selling their Hillsborough stadium to owner Dejphon Chansiri to try to avoid breaking spending rules.

The Owls sold their ground for about £60m, helping them record a pre-tax profit of £2.5m for 2017-18.

The charges relate to "how and when" it was sold and its inclusion in the 2018 accounts when it was sold a year later.

Championship side Wednesday say they will "vigorously defend" the charges.
