SHEFFIELD Wednesday have been granted a 28-day reprieve by the High Court in their bid to stave off administration.

The League One club faced a winding-up order today, over an unpaid PAYE tax bill of £600,000.

The debt-ridden Owls petitioned the High Court for a 28-day adjournment, which they have been granted this lunchtime.

However, the threat of administration still hangs over the Hillsborough side, as they search desperately for a buyer.
