I'm not suing fans says Laws

His name appeared on a list of claimants in legal documents relating to the case, along with the names of the club itself plus chief executive Kaven Walker and all the directors.

But Laws has had his name removed from the affair and is hammering home the message: "There is no way I as an individual am trying to sue any fans."

He has raised the issue with Owls officials and contacted the club's legal advisers to have his name officially removed from the documentation.

He explained: "My name was there as I am the manager and come under the umbrella of the organisation, which as a business has taken a certain stance on an issue, but this is nothing to do with me personally and I have taken the necessary action to make sure that this is clear."

Laws reaffirmed his admiration for the way fans in general have stuck by the club: "They've been absolutely first class. I want to reward them for that and bring the better times back. I'm working feverishly to make sure that's the case, and give something back that they deserve.

"I have a lot of faith in myself, the players and the fans."

Wednesday announced last week that they are considering legal action over fans' postings on a website which they claim have been untrue and damaging, and the club spoke of a need to protect its reputation.
