Pedersen said he has a “very professional” relationship with the club’s under-fire owner, Dejphon Chansiri, who he says is working to resolve the issues facing the club “as quick as possible”.<\/p>\n
The 47-year-old is working alongside the club’s academy staff after the majority of the coaching team left with Rohl but is hopeful he will be able to bring more coaches in soon.<\/p>\n
He said that at present, a lot of his job is “on the human side”.<\/p>\n
“We are trying to make the same standard that we would normally do. If we are 14 [players] or 20, we still need to be top fit before we can play a Championship game,”<\/p>\n
“I think the most important thing is to have a healthy atmosphere around the team. A strong culture to focus on where we can influence. It’s difficult in the period, but the boys are doing really well.<\/p>\n
“It’s important to feel the players and know, ‘Oh, it’s too much right now’, and speak to the human behind the player. I think generally they’re doing really, really well.<\/p>\n
“We know if you are happy, you can do more. So the first thing is to have a good culture around the team, both besides the pitch and on the pitch. If this is good, then we can do more and expect more.”<\/p>\n
With the possibility the club could yet be given a points deduction at some point this campaign, they have been made favourites to be relegated back to League One.<\/p>\n
Pedersen said it was “not fair” to say where the team would end this season at the moment, and all his energy was going into preparing the team for the trip to relegated Leicester.<\/p>\n
“I cannot say where we will end, but what I can say is from when I get up in the morning until I go to bed, I do all I can with my staff and the players to do the best possible job for Sheffield Wednesday,” he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pedersen said he has a “very professional” relationship with the club’s under-fire owner, Dejphon Chansiri, who he says…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":308279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,1620,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-327216","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-sheffield","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114991796332842657","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/308279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
