I am more attuned to your valuations (KWP?) but if we lose all of those players in the summer, we will be in freefall next season through the loss of any sort of continuity. For that reason it is unlikely the club will let more than two or three leave unless their contracts have expired. Sensibly they will only let leave the players that they want to let leave. Dibling, Fernandes & Sulemana must be the backbone of rebuilding a side that can challenge for the title and fare respectably in the Premier League so if SR are serious about a PL future then they must fight tooth and nail to resist their transfers. If you and others are right and the team has to be rebuilt from the ground up than finding a way back to the PL will be challenging. In a worst case projection it will be years before we can fight our way back. Juric for one is unlikley to hang around for long if our immediate prospects are poor. Expect that Ipswich & Leicester will be the sides to beat next season so there is only one promotion place left for us and the three clubs from the top six in the Championship this season who miss out on promotion in May.

Successful management is all about relationships not keyboards and mobile phone numbers.

It seems the IT people at SFC do not know how to turn off the 'Automatic Renewal' instruction in his Preferences section.

Seems you've answered your own question

Probably the later. He isn't really old enough to remember a Saints team winning. On the other had he could have bet all his pocket money on another defeat

Excellent debut. Thrown in the deep end and all went swimmingly 🏊‍♂️

Juric clearly is not the answer

As simple as that.

We'll need Wellington and Blücher to defend against this lot

Not only that but after the exodus of these so-called "best" players fans will be stuck with the depressing prospect of having to watch the dregs represent us next season in the Championship whether we like it or not. Juric's insistence on staying on in the summer and "building a team that can compete (sic)" next season sounds overly much like wishful thinking and hot air rather than grounded belief for our future. How he expects to buy better players than the ones we will lose to achieve his stated aim is beyond me; the whole host of promising kids on our books cannot be turned into world beaters overnight. We heve to accept that rebuilding will take time and mid table mediocrity is the most likely course for the next two or three seasons, maybe not Stoke but probably not Leeds either.

Don't you just love rhetorical questions?

The question should be asked. Juric sounds more professional than Jones so probably he gets a stay of execution from the fans despite a similar pattern of results.

That would be quite a stretch, more an all round good reliable bloke rather than a class full back

Mind you even Ramsdale isn't faring too well behind our back four.

t'was always thus sadly… Bale, Walcott, Surman, Shearer etc

No, sorry! Certainly not against the Toon

Would have been simple enough to have asked them first though.

We won't be in the Premier League

Remind us when we won 9-0?

Plenty of wins next season will soon erode all those bad memories. Best to keep lookng up not down. Cheer up for goodness sake OP !

Bit arbitrary since neither you nor I know anything about what goes on at Staplewood. Guess these are your least favourite palyers so chance to stick the knife in.

You mean Like on Sunday when brain dead Downes made an impossible to reach back pass to Jan who was marked by two Forest players one of whom thicko Wood clearly body checked him to prevent him getting anywhere near the ball even though he tried? How in hell's name can you blame Jan for that.

We are running out of games to improve much more. The main question from now on is whether Juric will stay to rebuild a team that will make a better fist of it in 2026/27.

Fair point.
