In an exclusive interview with Football FanCast, Sheffield Wednesday legend Carlton Palmer has fired a stark warning to the next Owls boss.

Thai owner Dejphon Chansiri sacked Tony Pulis less than two weeks ago after just ten matches in charge and now he's looking for his fifth manager in three years at Hillsborough Stadium.

The Owls have gone four matches unbeaten, three of which under caretaker coach Neil Thompson, who Palmer has backed to receive the job permanently.

Whilst the likes of Paul Cook, Joey Barton, Thorsten Fink and Jose Morais have all been linked to the vacant role in south Yorkshire.

Though, Palmer isn't sure that anyone would want to work under the current structure at Wednesday as he dropped a huge claim on how Chansiri operates in the transfer market...

He told FFC:

"My understanding is, in the past, from what I've heard is that Chansiri will come to the manager and say 'right, here's four or five players - choose which one.'

"That's still not right because it is maybe not the players that the manager wants.

"The manager should [be the one to] draw up a shortlist of players he wants."

Chansiri claims that he sacked the 62-year-old Welshman over his negative brand of football, claiming it was a "mistake" to appoint him in the first place, though it could not have come at a worse time now we're a week into the January transfer window.

Indeed, if the Owls make any moves before that crucial appointment, then it will only add further weight to Palmer's damning remarks.

The job at Hillsborough is certainly less attractive if the new manager isn't going to have full autonomy over incomings and outgoings.

Wednesday face League Two outfit Exeter City in the FA Cup this weekend and it doesn't seem like an appointment is going to happen before then.
