Albion chief lifts lid on Fellows sale

ALBION Sporting Director Andrew Nestor has revealed the reasoning behind Tom Fellows’ departure.

- By DAN NEWBOULD

One of the players the club sold this summer, Fellows was a fan favourite and academy product.

Nestor explained: “It’s always a difficult decision to sell a player like Tom. He's beloved in this community and came up through our academy, and I think that makes it a bit different sometimes when you compare the situation to other players who maybe didn’t come through that pathway within the club. Coming into this window we had a very clear-cut strategy. We had been signing players in anticipation of what we knew would be our outgoings. That allowed us to be patient with our outgoings to ensure we got the best value that we could.
