Leicester getting a points deduction would be most welcome. Birmingham are going to be strong (their owner claims they will be as strong as the parachute teams next season on commercials). Ipswich and Leicester will have the parachute payments and even Wrexham will be an interesting one to see how they do. At least one of Sunderland or Sheffield United will remain too. Won’t be easy, especially given the bad momentum we have, the high number of changes to players, new manager and now the uncertainty on our ownership. Russ managed the chaos pretty well last time, yes we finished 4th but 87 points is not a poor return and he got us up in the end. Leicester will do well with him IMO.

What/who is Fulthorpe?

I liked Russell and it was a shame he ultimately failed this season and had to go. You just know he will go to our direct rivals and finish above us, it’s the Southampton way.

I don’t like this at all.

So based on what you’ve heard, we are 100% up for sale and Solak wants out ASAP?

How do you know this?

I don’t have a problem with Spors interviewing whoever he wants, provided he ultimately makes a good appointment.

Wouldn’t be a surprise if all of Stewart’s injuries have reduced his pace. He looked pretty quick at Sunderland.

We both got promoted last time we were both in a mess. Expect us both to be playoffs minimum next season regardless of manager selection and points deductions. The gap is big in the PL but Luton aside the gap against the other champ teams is just as big. Look at the points totals for the top 3 again this year.

Leicester expected to replace RvN this summer, shortlist appears to be Lee Carsley, Danny Rohl and Russell Martin. Would Rohl choose us? Carsley not mentioned for us to date, is he a viable option? I wouldn’t like to see Russ battling against us for promotion next season but it would be a good option for him to get back into management.

I’d imagine it’s because Juric was even worse. We were right to change Martin but did it too late and brought in the wrong guy. But if you look at where we are today, would we have been any worse off sticking with Martin? I doubt it.
