Former West Ham United manager Glenn Roeder has been appointed as an advisor to new Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri.

Thai businessman Chansiri took control of the Owls last month and has brought in Roeder and former Hull City owner and chairman Adam Pearson to join head coach Stuart Gray on a three-man sporting director committee.

"Adam and Glenn are seasoned football professionals and I am delighted they are joining us on this exciting journey, which we all intend will lead to the Premier League," Chansiri told the club website.

"To achieve that ambition, it is imperative for the prosperity of our club that anyone I introduce is of absolutely the right football calibre and both Adam and Glenn meet this requirement."

Chansiri wants Wednesday to achieve promotion back to the top flight by the club's 150th anniversary in 2017.
