Wigan Athletic have been deducted three points with immediate effect after failing to pay player salaries again in March.
The Latics, who were promoted to the Championship as League One champions last season, had previously been charged and sanctioned for failing to adhere to the terms of the Standard Contracts that were in force between the club and its players in the months of June 2022, July 2022 and October 2022.
This latest infringement by Wigan to meet their obligations means the terms of the Agreed Decision they entered into with the EFL in January has been breached and the application of the suspended sporting sanction has been automatically triggered. It means they have automatically been docked three points, leaving them on 31 points.
