Can you provide a link to these clear noises from the club of 12-15 players leaving? Do you mean 12 to 15 senior players? Because every season every PL club releases lots of youth players in the under 23s and under 18s whose contracts are expiring.

You think Jack Stephens hasn't improved since the age of 17? Sure Redmond is no Mane, but to claim he hasn't improved since the day he joined in 2016 is nonsense.

You missed the point completely as you did not read it in the context of what it was replying to and instead took my post in isolation. The post it was replying to stated Danny Rohl was the "only one taking care of the tactical side". So I asked what explains the 12 month spell of superb form after he left.

What happened in 2020 then? Saints over that calender year had the 6th highest points total in the PL. Danny Rohl was not at the club for any of it.

Saints already have mascots...

SaintsExtra does not claim to be a source. He copies and pastes Tweet rumours from media oulets & journalists and even names where he got it from.

Sell on % clauses are pretty standard in transfers, so Saints could be on the receiving end of a payday if he does leave this summer...

Don't believe everything you read!

As I've created hundreds of thousands of entries in the FM database over the last 15 years there is more of my opinion about Saints publicly available than probably any other person in history!

1) The Dutch league isn't really a top European league. 2) Across all competitions isn't a great gauge. Not difficult to get a hatful vs a League Two or non league team in the Cup and inflate your tally 3) How have you determined the liklihood of Romeu departing this summer?

He was linked a few days ago, in a report that made no sense.

Michael Henke is 65 years old, so it isn't really much of a long term succession plan. More likely to be retiring soon rather than an up and coming talent being groomed to take over.

Broja and Livramento didn't need senior English experience to be very effective. Why do we need a 15 goal striker? Only 5 teams had a 15 goal player in the PL this season! Why do we need 'two horrible midfielders'?

Why does Sam Wallace think the owners of a company with hundreds of employees need to be present to let someone go? That does not happen in many other industries. If the Telegraph sacked Sam Wallace, would he expect that a meeting with the owners of the paper would take place? 🤔

Idiot

That isn't true.

Why are you using a comparison with playing a centre back out of position?

He is contracted for 2 more years until 2024.

1) Ralph picks them 2) The club picks them There is a third option... 3) Ralph is on a panel along with others picking them Number 3 makes the most sense.

I doubt they'd be solely Ralph's choice. Would make more sense for Ralph to be on a panel of people selecting the replacements.

Pretty much this...

That isn't a given. It would be surprising if he didn't have a big input into who is appointed as replacements.

I think we should wait and see who is appointed as replacements before deciding that. Maybe he'll have a better sounding board with any new coaching team.
