New Owls boss takes things step by step

NEW Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen admitted he was living day-to-day at the club rather than setting targets for the season ahead.

A stormy past few months has seen Wednesday hit with several EFL-imposed embargoes for financial breaches, including failing to pay players and staff on time in May, June and July. That led to the 15 first-team players still on the books at the club to boycott a behind-closed-doors friendly against Burnley, which came to light on the same day Pedersen was announced as Owls boss.

Pedersen is certain a repeat scenario would not unfold in their Sky Bet Championship curtain-raiser at Leicester on Sunday, but he was unwilling to think too much beyond the East Midlands trip.
