Sheffield Wednesday manager Dave Jones says his side will be pushing for back-to-back promotions next season.

The Owls returned to the Championship yesterday, after beating Wycombe Wanderers, and boss Jones believes his side can match the past successes of the likes of Norwich City and Southampton, by making a bid for promotion to the Premier League.
"I arrived 12 matches ago and my remit from the chairman was promotion. Anything else would have been a failure," Jones told BBC Radio Sheffield.
"Knowing the chairman, next season will not just be about survival."
The Owls have won 10 matches, drawn two and lost none since Jones replaced Gary Megson as Wednesday manager at the start of March, and Jones believes Milan Mandaric will want more than survival in the Championship next season.
"The potential here is unbelievable," added Jones. "When you see 38,000 home fans, and they could have sold another 15,000, that shows the potential. I've had many chats with the chairman, he has a vision and it's up to me to draw up a plan."
