Tony Mowbray has given a surprising admission on Alex Pritchard's future, with the attacking midfielder expected to leave the club before the transfer window closes.
HAVE TO MOVE ON
“I like Pritch. Pritch is a good player. I don’t want to get too prescriptive about it, but it looks like Pritch is going to leave the football club. We have to move past that, we have to move on – that’s football."
LOYALTY IS RARE NOWADAYS
“Every footballer understands it is a transient game. I got a testimonial at Middlesbrough – I was there 12 years – but that’s very, very rare in modern-day football. Footballers come and then they move on, and supporters understand that."
COMPLICATED SITUATION
“Alex’s situation is a little bit more complicated than I can discuss openly. He’s a good football player, but there is a fair percentage (likelihood) that he will leave the football club in the next few weeks. If he doesn’t, then we can have more discussions after the window shuts.”
