This past week has been a rare positive one for Wednesday, with a surge in support, as over £200,000 was spent in the club shop in just two days following the administration being announced, and the news surrounding players and staff being paid a day early being a cause for joy at Hillsborough.

Players and staff of Sheffield Wednesday have been paid wages a day early after administrators took control of the struggling club.

Sheffield Wednesday have been deducted 12 points after a court filing on Friday showed the second-tier side filed for administration amid mounting financial issues at one of England's oldest surviving football clubs.

According to BBC Sheffield's Rob Staton, three candidates have now given proof of funds to Sheffield Wednesday worth £50m in what is a vital step towards a potential takeover. It remains to be seen who those three candidates are, but two names that have been mentioned this week are John McEvoy and John Textor.

An automatic 12-point deduction from the English Football League (EFL) will see Wednesday fall to minus six points after 11 games of the Championship season and almost certainly bring relegation back to League One. A stretched and inexperienced squad has so far won just one game under head coach Henrik Pedersen.

Historic English soccer club Sheffield Wednesday’s future was thrown into doubt after it was taken over by administrators amid financial troubles.

S heffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen predicted a brighter future for the Championship’s bottom club after a battling 0-0 draw against West Brom at the Hawthorns. Wednesday took their points tally to minus five by ending a run of four straight defeats with a first clean sheet in seven while they were backed by a big away following.

Administration almost certainly means relegation but Wednesday's fans are just grateful their future is looking brighter
