In August 2020 the Club filed an appeal to a League Arbitration Panel against the decision of the EFL Disciplinary Commission to impose a sanction on the Club of a deduction of 12 points in season 2020/21.
The Club confirms that today its appeal was upheld in part. The decision of the League Arbitration Panel is that the sanction is reduced to a deduction of 6 points in season 2020/21.
The Club is digesting the content of the decision and will not provide further comment until it is published.

Sheffield Wednesday: Points deduction for breaking spending rules reduced from 12 to six
Sheffield Wednesday have struggled for form this term - taking just 11 points from a possible 30 in the league
Wednesday 4th November 2020
Sheffield Wednesday's 12-point deduction for breaching spending rules has been reduced to six points.
The club were said to have included the sale of their Hillsborough stadium in their 2017-18 accounts despite the ground being sold a year later.
The decision means that the Owls rise to 23rd in the Championship and now have five points instead of minus one.
The club's argument to remove the penalty entirely was rejected, the English Football League said.
"The independent panel has today rejected the club's appeal related to matters surrounding the stadium sale and on consideration of the sanction; they did not agree with the club's assertion that a points deduction should not have been imposed," an EFL statement stated.
"However, they did opt to reduce the sporting punishment from 12 points to six, which will be effective immediately."
Despite July's punishment, the club were cleared at the time of "breaching its duty of utmost good faith to the EFL by deliberately concealing information".
There had been controversy surrounding the punishment at the time, as news of the 12-point penalty came nine days after the extended 2019-20 regular season finished, and eight months and 17 days after initially being charged with misconduct.
The sanction was applied this season and not during the 2019-20 campaign when a 12-point deduction would have relegated Garry Monk's side by ensuring they finished bottom.

Don't now why others should be worried. Even if they had not had the deduction they would still be below us.
