Sheff Wed feel free after administration - Pedersen

Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen has said the club feels "belief" again after entering administration in October.

The process brought an end to Dejphon Chansiri's chaotic ownership, which had seen players' and staff wages delayed and fans boycotting games.

The club's administrators said last week they had had 10 parties show proof of funds to take over at Hillsborough.

"There's been a big change of energy since the administrator took over," Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"There is freedom again and there is belief again. People are looking forward to the future. You can feel a different energy in the stadium now."

Entering administration meant Wednesday were deducted 12 points by the English Football League and they are 17 points adrift of safety at the bottom of the table.

They host derby rivals Sheffield United on Sunday, looking for a first home win of the season.

The Blades have made a poor start to the season and have lost 11 of their opening 15 games.

Despite their lowly position, Pedersen is expecting a stern test at the weekend.

"I think we will play against a very organised team," he said. "They are very compact and strong and they can be very difficult to play against.

"They have so much quality to build up from the back but they can also play a bit more simple football.

"You have to be ready to handle many different situations. It's a complex challenge."
