To further deduce the precise time point of the end of the season. When Wilcox was announced it said he was leaving at "the end of the season" his farewell interview was posted yesterday. Wilcox: I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved together (mancity.com) The end of the season may be upon us imminently.

Last line of Tanwell's latest article confirms Andrew Sparkes has left as GK coach.

Just the second game since January they lost, in fairness.

Beeb also saying it's down to compensation but the figures they're reporting are £2 million and £1.25 million. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65779193

With hundreds of staff on Consultation, 200k could be the difference for a couple of jobs. It's right they should be seen to be conserving cash where possible.

From the rulebook it happens once Membership "share" transfer is made between the three relegated clubs and the three promoted clubs, as directed by the Premier League. But there is no specific date mentioned for the transfer to happen.

That's what was reported yesterday by Alan Nixon. People can choose whether they believe that to be accurate or not, but thats what was reported. as I mentioned earlier the 22/23 rules stated the rules were in effect from 1/6/22 Whether the New seasons rules will start later this year due to the time slip of the Qatar World Cup is the question.

Man City could have a sell on Clause That would mean for a £40 million sale we may have to give £5 million to Man City and end up with £35 million anyway.

the Premier League Handbook 22/23 stated rules were effective from 1/6/22 So we could officially be a Championship Club today unless the PL season is affected by the timing of the FA Cup final.

Mens team player wages for 2022 are stated in the accounts. "Year on Year player renumeration for the mens team decreased slightly to £87 million from £89.3 million. (58% of turnover)" but that was a year where we had reportedly a lot of high wages on the books (Forster etc) A contracted 40% reduction of first team wages has already been reported, which would put wages in the £50-55 million bracket for next year

Probably a good use of the English language.

They could be referring to when Pre-season training starts.

seriously? its really is quite a commonplace word throughout a lot of industries.

I'd always heard that stripes sold the worst in the Saints shop when compared to other styles

no clue if its true or not but: Martin taking four with him to Southampton | Planet Swans "Matt Gill, Dean Thornton, Matt Willmott and Ben Parker are all expected to follow Martin out of Swansea when the move is confirmed"

Its almost as if many Journo's use many words interchangeably depending on the weather.

I suspect Sportsbet.io / Coingaming group will be ecstatic at the arrival of Bitcon. Interesting day in the life at England Rugby. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/rugby-league/34673007

A fire sale involves selling something at less than the value of that item. It's not close to happening with Southampton

"appointment that is expected to be confirmed on Tuesday." "He is expected to take Matt Gill and Dean Thornton with him as part of his backroom staff as a bare minimum." https://planetswans.co.uk/2023/05/28/southampton-set-to-confirm-martin-on-tuesday/

But recent history doesn't show the type of manager you want is not the type of manager that promotes teams from the championship. Russel Martin arguably IS more like Farke, or Frank, or Cooper, or Munoz. In the last few years it's only really Bielsa who was an manager "with reputation" The young managers. They're the managers who have brought promotion to the Prem recently.

You live in a bubble. In January in Turkey the Göztepe fans were baying for the heads of Sports republic, too. Since then they've had one loss in the league. Sadly they missed out on promotion in the playoffs losing to Bodrumspor, but theyve proven they can get results with a team that has wholesale changes. We will be either the the most money rich club in the league, or very close to it, and there is absolutely no reason to not believe we are a title contender in the Championship.

It's going to be interesting to see what Saints do with the transfer dealings. If we got in 80-100 million for say JWP, Lavia, Tella how much upward pressure would that put on potential incomings price? Is it wise to sign incomings first?

Those who finish 20th have more time to prepare for the season they're about to face. Given Sports Republic have already said the new structure will be in place "in the coming weeks", then that can translate to results from the beginning of the season.
