Wednesday Unhappy Over Wood Approach

Last updated : 12 September 2008 By Covsupport News Service
Sheffield Wednesday are reported to be unhappy about the way Coventry City tried to lure Richard Wood to the Ricoh Arena.

A column in the Sheffield Telegraph has said: "It is known that there was much displeasure in the Hillsborough hierarchy about Coventry's tactics.

The issue remained alive a fortnight after the Sky Blues were rebuffed in a fresh £1m plus approach, suggesting the player could have been serenaded behind the scenes.

That suspicion hardened amid confirmation from boss Brian Laws, pictured, that Wood had submitted a transfer request which was then rejected."

The 23 year old defender is now expected to be offered a new deal by The Owls.
