Paul Dickov in running for Sheffield Wednesday job?

Sheffield Wednesday are reportedly considering a move for Doncaster Rovers manager Paul Dickov.

The Hillsborough outfit parted company with Dave Jones last weekend after a run of just one league victory in 16 matches.

Wednesday chairman Milan Mandaric has reportedly drawn up a five-man shortlist for the role, and according to Sky Sports News, Dickov is one of the names under consideration.

The 41-year-old only moved to Doncaster during the summer, but it is reported that his positive start at the Keepmoat Stadium and lack of a long-term deal with the Yorkshire side has made him a target for the Owls.
