Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen hopes to find out the next steps in the club's takeover saga on Thursday after seeing his side beaten at Norwich City.

The match kicked-off just hours after the James Bord consortium, named as preferred bidders just before Christmas, ended their interest in the club.

"I had to focus on the game the whole day so I only heard (about the consortium) like the other employees at the club," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"I only know the administrator should have a plan B for how we can come quick to the next step so I look forward to further progress.

"I will speak tomorrow so I can update the players and then we can take it from there."

Joe Emery, 19, came closest to a goal for Wednesday with a second-half header in only his second league appearance for the Owls, who also sent on 17-year-old Will Grainger as a late substitute.

The players and staff gathered together after the final whistle to applaud the travelling Owls support.

"We're just relegated and so many fans are coming down on a long trip to Norwich, the most important thing was to make them proud," Pedersen added.

"The boys played for the shirt and the last moment where we were all together because we want to say thank you for this amazing support - it shows why we are the club we are and can have a bright future."
