Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson believes the Robins owe it to their fanbase not to sell off all of the family silver, as interest grows in star talents Alex Scott, Antoine Semenyo and Han-Noah Massengo but if they are to leave Ashton Gate it will be on club’s terms.
In what has been an inconsistent campaign, far removed from the play-off aspirations of previous campaigns, City supporters have had to buy into the concept of a rebuild and that brighter and more ambitious horizons won’t be too far away once these foundations are laid.
Fundamental to that is a side underpinned by academy talent, with Pearson giving debuts to eight players from the Under-23 set-up since he took charge last February.
