You sound surprised.

Google search. Championship clubs must notify the EFL of their retained players by the third Saturday in May. Clubs competing in the play-offs are granted an automatic extension, while exact dates for publication to the public vary by club. [1, 2, 3, 4] The deadlines and submission rules include: Initial Notification Deadline: Clubs must formally notify players of their contract decisions and submit their lists to the English Football League by mid-May (for example, May 16th). [1, 2] Play-Off Exception: Clubs that are involved in the end-of-season play-offs receive an extended deadline to submit their lists to accommodate their prolonged season. [1, 2] Public Release: While lists are submitted to the league on the EFL's primary deadline, individual clubs have some flexibility on exactly when they make the news public. You can check BBC for rolling, league-wide announcements or your club's official site for hyper-specific local dates. [1, 2] Southampton FC has not yet published its full official men's retained and released list, though reports indicate it is expected to be released shortly. The delayed publication stems from the club's extended season, as they were knocked out of the Championship play-off picture. [1] Current expectations for the squad updates include: Women's Team List: The Southampton FC Women's Retained List was officially confirmed, showing seven out-of-contract player departures, including club captain Atlanta Primus. [1] Key Retained Elements: Reports from fan sites like St Mary's Saints indicate plans to keep essential figures such as James Bree, Ross Stewart, Daniel Peretz, and Cyle Larin. [1] Potential Expiring Contracts: Per tracking from the Daily Echo, first-team players whose deals expire this month include Alex McCarthy, Joe Aribo, Will Smallbone, Charlie Taylor, and Oriol Romeu. Striker Ross Stewart has been offered an extension but is still deciding whether to sign

I would, he always was and always will be a journeyman who can take a good free kick. Otherwise he is just average crap

This. We beat them fair and square over two legs.

Whose side are you on?

Beeb seems to have lost its voice?

That doesn't follow ar all. We didn't know then what we know now. Very few if any of our players had broken through on their potential in the way that they did under Eckert later in the season. None of our players would have attracted much interest last Christmas even if they had been put up for sale.

Unless we need the money there will be pressure from the club for players to honour their existing contracts even at the expense of future losses in transfer fees. If we then get promoted the balance sheet will sort itself out. We would know by Christmas of the likelihood of promotion so players more likely to be allowed to leave in the January window than now.

The key will be THB.. If he stays most of ythe others will as well.

It's not about "Why do it" it's about the timing. The 'Why' is obvious, gather as much information as possible about your opponents before you play them and work out your strategy, tactics anmd otions accordingly for the match . We'd be on his back for gross negligence if he didn't do that. Most things in life are about timing.

The same might be said about your post!

Who's telling the truth though? I don't trust the Beeb for one minute, they seem to be revelling in Saints' misery and this 'new' artcle is not at all balanced. Are they trying to influence the FA? Just asking…………..

Trophies should be shared if no outright winner after ET. What's wrong with sharing, each club gets a replica trophy for the year and prize money is split.

What happens on Mars is of not much interest on here

We've got Ryan Manning, I know which one we can trust.
