Challinor's record fits the bill for Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday's new owners wanted to bring in a winner - someone capable of turning recent defeats and draws into victories.

Dave Challinor's record fits the bill, with seven promotions to his name already. He also knows League One through his time at Stockport County.

His task will be to provide an effective form of football. He has to bring a Sheffield Wednesday squad together that has talented individuals but now needs to be shaped into a team.

The top seven in League One is starting to look strong and Wednesday, along with Leicester and possibly the rising MK Dons, will be looking at joining the group that appears to be establishing.

This will be an interesting next step for Challinor. It's a very different job to Stockport, Hartlepool or Fylde - with massive expectations.

Whenever Wednesday are in League One, you're expected to win. A lot. Darren Moore had a 96-point season at this level and was always only a bad result away from having people question his job.

I'd expect he will probably be joined by Clint Hill and Anthony Sweeney on his staff.

Simon Wilson, who worked with Challinor at Stockport, will have been instrumental in the appointment. That working relationship will be key moving forward.
