The English Football League had previously charged the Championship club in June with multiple breaches of regulations after they failed to pay players’ wages on time.
The Yorkshire club have previously faced player registration embargoes and were docked six points during the 2020-21 season for breaching profit and sustainability rules.
“The EFL can confirm that it has now received formal notice that Dejphon Chansiri, the director of Sheffield Wednesday, has taken the necessary steps to appoint administrators to both the club and also the company which owns Hillsborough,” it said in a statement.
