The trick is dealing with it, instead of getting our knickers in a twist. As soon as someone wants away, let them go for a price in our interests and replace them accordingly, just like Arsenal and Man Utd have done over the years.
I'd agree with The Man with a stick too, almost everyone has their best players nicked. That's why clubs should be constantly keeping tabs on potential replacements so that the next generation has already been identified should a top player get poached.
1954 - 2011....Blanchflower, Hitchens, Hateley, Rioch, Platt, Yorke, Barry, Milner, Young. Those are just off the top of my head.NO, we have not BECOME a feeder club in the way I believe you are using the term.
EDIT ...maybe not Denis Law, he was getting on a bit when they sold him.

Therefore most clubs are feeder clubs, would you call Man Ure a feeder club for selling Ronaldo to Real Madrid? Nearly every player has a price when the champions league mob come knocking
