Glenn Roeder has made a surprise return to football as part of a new management team at Sheffield Wednesday. Roeder and former Hull City chairman Adam Pearson are joining head coach Stuart Gray in a three-man task force charged with returning the Owls to the Premier League. The off-field team has been put in place by Dejphon Chansiri, the Thai tycoon who recently bought the club from Milan Mandaric. Glenn Roeder is now part of a new managerial committee team at Championship side Sheffield Wednesday . Chansiri said they would form a recruitment committee as part of full-time roles starting immediately. Pledging support for Gray, who has stabilised the club since taking over a relegation threatened team last season, Chansiri said: 'The head coach will have the final say.' Chansiri added: 'We will spend whatever is necessary to meet our ambition of promotion to the Premier League by 2017.' Roeder is vastly experienced while Pearson led Hull's first climb to the top flight. 'Sheffield Wednesday is steeped in history and the Premier League is where it should be,' said tex Watford, West Ham and Newcastle boss Roeder who has also taken charge of the England B team. Stuart Gray is the manager of the club and has done well since taking over from former boss Dave Jones . 'The aim is to win promotion as soon as possible.' Pearson said: 'I hope my experience is of great benefit. Wednesday has good ownership and a refreshing approach to football. 'I feel this committee is a great initiative.' Adam Pearson helped lead Hull to the Premier League and hopes he can do the same at Wednesday .
