Milan Mandaric prepares for Sheffield Wednesday farewell

Sheffield Wednesday fans have been asked to take their seats 15 minutes before kickoff in Saturday's Championship match against Cardiff City as former owner Milan Mandaric bids farewell to the club.

The club was sold to Thai businessman Dejphon Chansiri last week and now a 'Thank You Milan' day has been organised for Saturday.

A statement from the Owls earlier today read: "Wednesdayites have taken to social media to mark the Championship clash as a 'Thank You Milan Day' and the club can confirm the chairman will be addressing supporters on the pitch prior to kickoff.

"Consequently, the Owls are asking fans to ensure they are seated by 2.45pm in order to show their support to Milan."

Mandaric owned Wednesday for just over four years and helped the club back up to the Championship from League One.
