Sheffield Wednesday chief executive Kaven Walker has hit back at Southampton in the ongoing Grzegorz Rasiak transfer saga after the Saints reported Owls boss Brian Laws to the Football League.

"We are fully supportive of our manager with regard to this matter and we have no reason to believe that Brian Laws has been in breach of any regulations set out by the Football League," Walker said.
