A lot of Sheffield Wednesday fans have flocked to a tweet that was recently posted by Owls-focused journalist Dom Howson which includes a link to an article from Yorkshire Live which shares the news that Barnsley have sent “a strongly-worded letter” to the EFL which concerns Wednesday.
This news originally surfaced in a report from The Guardian which explains that Barnsley, who currently sit at the bottom of the Championship table, will consider taking legal action with the EFL if they are relegated ahead of other Championship clubs who are “pending punishments from EFL charges” if the 2019/20 season doesn’t resume.
As per The Guardian, both Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County are yet to face “independent disciplinary hearings relating to the controversial sale of their stadiums to owners”. The Tykes believe that they should not be relegated ahead of these clubs as these two clubs have been charged with breaking EFL rules.
Some Owls fans have responded with criticism for Barnsley in response to Howson’s tweet sharing this news. Read the reactions of some Owls fans to this post in the tweets below.

Perhaps if they showed this type of fight on the pitch, they might not be rock bottom. Desperate.

Not really sure why Barnsley are crying, nothings going to stop them being relegated. If for some crazy reason they dock us 20 points each. Barnsley will still be the third team to go down.

Do you think that Barnsley would have a legitimate case against the EFL if they were relegated prematurely?YESNO |
If Barnsley focuses on themselves in the same manner they would be in the relagation zone. Emabarrasing… just accept your relegation…. ?

Barnsley are going down regardless of what happens ??

What do we think?
It may be understandable why these Wednesday fans haven’t reacted to this letter very positively, as it raises the possibility of them being relegated due to the case being brought against them by the EFL.
