'Great personalities...' - What Henrik Pedersen has said about Sheffield Wednesday's potential new owners
Henrik Pedersen likes what he’s seen from Sheffield Wednesday’s potential new owners.
Pedersen has been in contact with the Arise group who are looking to complete the purchase of the Owls in the not-so-distant future, and while he insisted that there were no updates he could offer at this stage, he did insist that they’re working ‘really hard’ to try and get the deal done.
At the head of the table is David Storch, but he’s joined in the consortium by Michael Storch and Tom Costin as the trio seek to become Dejphon Chansiri’s successors at Hillsborough, and so far they’ve said all the right things in order to get Wednesdayites on board with the project that hopefully lies ahead.
Another person they seem to have impressed is the current manager, with the Dane saying that those involved are ‘really interesting people’. His comments will add to the good mood around the ongoing process.
“I only know that they’re working to do the best for Sheffield Wednesday,” he told The Star. “I’ve had brief interactions with the guys, and there are some great personalities there, some really interesting people. I can only say positive things about my meetings with them, and I know they’re working really, really hard to make everything as good as possible as quickly as possible.”
Meanwhile, the Owls boss also clarified his comments in the Danish media where he said that he ‘expected’ to be with Wednesday next season as they head down into League One.
“I love my job, and I have a contract,” he said. “So that’s the basis for what I said. It was a way for me to show my proudness, because I love what I’m doing here.”
