“Those plans are in place, we’re already ahead with that, in terms of looking at players. It’s obviously difficult to sign players until the summer because contracts don’t end until the end of June. But in terms of targets and how I want the team to look next season, we’re well on with that.”
Sheffield Wednesday look at trialist
