SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY will enter administration on Friday in a move that will be a hammer blow to their chances of avoiding relegation to League One.
Daily Mail Sport understands staff at the Championship crisis club were left in tears after being informed of the development in a meeting at the training ground on Friday morning.
Sources have told us that Begbies Traynor has been appointed the administrators for a process that would likely see Wednesday docked 12 points. They currently sit rock bottom of the table with six points from 11 games.
Daily Mail Sport exclusively revealed last week that the club was facing a winding-up order over an unpaid tax bill, which is close to £1m and thought to relate to PAYE and VAT.
