Henrik Pedersen is looking to avoid Wednesday finishing on a minus points total

Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen is confident the takeover to launch a bright new era for the Owls will finally be completed.

Relegated Wednesday face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday with Arise Capital Partners founder David Storch, his son Michael and business partner Tom Costin expected to be part of a sellout crowd at Hillsborough.

Pedersen is optimistic the long-heralded deal to take the club out of administration will be signed off with the American consortium before kick-off.

"This relief that the past is the past and now we can start to look into the future will be an emotional moment for sure," he told BBC Radio Sheffield.
