Has Pedersen got the most difficult job in English football?

Henrik Pedersen replaced Danny Rohl this summer

Henrik Pedersen is in charge of Sheffield Wednesday, who have had the heart ripped out of the squad - he has 12 senior players, a skeleton coaching team and an owner who it seems is reluctant to sell the football club.

Dejphon Chansiri has paid the August wages, which is a relief for all those staff both on and off the field who have had months of late payments and other problems.

Despite the troubles, Pedersen has produced a side that has shown grit, battle and determination in all of their four Championship games so far, while a much changed team of youngsters beat Bolton and Premier League Leeds United in the Carabao Cup.

The way he has galvanised a team that has experienced heads like Barry Bannan, Liam Palmer and Jamal Lowe with a set of young under-21s and in some cases under-18s players is a real credit to him and shows that indeed in times of trouble there can be that siege mentality.
