https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/james-vince-why-i-quit-red-ball-cricket-and-others-will-follow-1469811 Link confirms what Weston stated above from Vince himself, but the changes the ECB have made also have been part of his thinking. Real shame for Hants and English cricket in general.

I'd be amazed if Dibling goes to Spurs, simply because Levy wouldn't be prepared to pay the fee we would demand for him. Feels like the story has been fed to the papers to put a bit of pressure on Saints, but for all SRs faults we know that doesn't work after the Lavia/Liverpool saga 18 months ago

Don't think we should be writing off Juric yet. I'm clinging (somewhat forlornly perhaps) to the fact we could and should have beaten West Ham & Man U as signs of progress. The teams morale will be on the floor, so just to get them being competitive in games is a decent return atm. Needs to translate into some decent results before the end of the season if we're going to stick with him longer term though

WHy doesn't he do this for the first team??

Said in jest irealise but I actually don't think it's a bad shout for Baz. There's some big games in the Turkish top flight for him to deal with, and overall lower standard for him to hone his game (and hopefully learn how to make saves)

Sounds like SW versions of Jack Schitt (or whatever his name was)

Whilst I don't disagree that he needs more output, I don't think we should judge a player on his pricetag. We should judge the board on price paid. I've always had a soft spot for Sulemana, I think partly because he's always been given such a hard time on here! Really hoping he continues putting in solid performance, especially if he adds a few goals with it

Safe to say we ain't likely to win the CC next season after this news... https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24854251.hampshires-vince-likely-miss-county-championship-season/

I thought he was one of our better players before he got injured last season, and obvs after that he didn't get a look in. Hopefully today's performance and Juric being manager will give him a shot in the arm and he'll build from here. He's got the natural attributes and can beat his man, just needssome composure with his final decision making

He'll go at the end of the season I think, albeit I think he'd be best served having a years first team football in a (hopefully) decent championship side - worked well for Grealish! Money talks though, so can't see that happening.

I don't disagree with your analysis, but I'm thinking of his perception of his abilities, which may well be that he's good enough to play regularly for a top 6 team. Or maybe go abroad where the standards are a little lower. He certainly would likely get a better financial package on a free, so that may be in his thinking as well

Unless Villa are in for him I don't see KWP accepting a move to Fulham or Brentford level club. When he's available on a free he'd likely get more offers with moves to bigger clubs. Maybe even a CL level team

Fantastic stuff! He's been continually excellent for them over the years!

Leicester aren't at risk of a points deduction anymore I don't think? https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/ckg54xkqnzlo

Stopped reading there... Potter took a club from the 4th tier of the Swedish leagues all the way to title contenders, won a national cup, then took the same team through several rounds of the Europa League, beating teams from much higher ranked leagues, only losing to Arsenal on aggregate (they won one of their games). Please could you elaborate on how Martin's achievements of taking both MK Dons & Swansea to mid table of their respective leagues is much greater an achievement than what Potter achieved?

His managerial record can be seen here. I know nothing about him, but he's averaged more than a point a games at every club he's managed. If he can do the same here he'd be a major success (albeit we'll still likely be relegated...). PL is a step up from what he has managed in the past though... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasper_Hjulmand

Thank you for last season Martin Fuck you for this season Martin

Vincent Kompany was one of the top defenders of his generation with a worldwide reputation.... Whilst Martin has a big ego I'm not sure even he is deluded enough to think a big club is going to come calling for him anytime soon

I'd be surprised if he doesn't sign a small extension to his contract. He would get a huge pay rise and still know a big club will pay to get him if he continues as he has been this year

Live now For anyone who likes watching the ladies lose as well as the men!

I'm hoping West Ham lose on Monday, Lopetegui gets sacked and we can somehow convince him to work for us until the end of the season... Otherwise I'd want Will Still, but doubt he'd leave Lens for us, particularly as he's only been there 6 months

What an arrogant pr*ck....

Thank fcuk. Get well soon Antonio!

About to bat against Victoria. We did well to restrict them to 170 after they were 130ish-0 after 14 overs. Gonna have to bat well though

Welcome back (temporarily) Danny! Is my memory failing or was he the one who ended our county championship hopes a few years ago by putting on some rapid runs at the end of a Warwickshire s innings after we'd been pushing for the win? Masood doesn't have a great record but hopefully he helps us out
