Bristol City are set to win the race to sign Bournemouth striker Brett Pitman. Blackpool had been in pole position to land the 22-year-old, who has a terrific scoring record for the Cherries. However, despite agreeing a fee they failed to conclude the deal after being unable to agree personal terms with Pitman.

Brett Pitman has rejected a move to Blackpool but still looks likely to depart Dean Court imminently after another club entered the race to sign him. Chairman Eddie Mitchell last night confirmed that Pitman's proposed move to the Seasiders had collapsed and that Cherries had yesterday been in discussions with a second, as yet un-named club. Mitchell did not disclose the club he had been in negotiations with, but the likes of Doncaster Rovers, QPR and Ipswich Town are believed to be Pitman admirers, while fellow second tier clubs Swansea City and Bristol City are known to be on the look-out for attacking reinforcements.

Steve Wigley insists he is not here to take Keith Millen's job as Bristol City boss. Having served as assistant to three previous managers, Millen ascended to the Ashton Gate hot seat himself following last week's shock departure of Steve Coppell. One of Millen's first tasks upon taking charge was to appoint former Southampton number one Wigley as his assistant. But the 48-year-old northerner claims he has no intention of going after Millen's job and is here to help him. "I've had no thoughts of being a manager for a long time. I'm quite happy coaching," said Wigley, who will continue in his role as assistant to England Under-21 head coach Stuart Pearce.
