If the councourses can't be separated, surely just have 1500 in the Northam corner and 1500 in the Itchen North? Next season most teams will bring 1500 maximum anyway so hopefully won't be an issue. Just the likes of QPR and Millwall and the teams who go down with us that'll probably take 3000, maybe some of the other southern teams.

I don't hate Selles, but I don't want him as the manager and personally I don't think he has helped matters with some terrible team selections and tactical decisions. Ultimately though he has a fairly poor set of players to work with and that isn't his fault. I wish him well after the season.

Kompany was an up and coming manager and look at Burnley. Meanwhile Norwich and Watford failed with experienced managers

Looks like we can rule out a trip to Hillsborough next season...

The issue though is that clubs, who know we may have a bit of cash, will play hardball with us. Hopefully we bring enough players in early doors before we sell anyone.

He'd be as influential, if not more so, than Lallana. Hopefully we sign a decent striker to compliment him like Lambert

He's at his very best when he takes on Portsmouth fans, but that's low-hanging fruit for him

I wonder if we'll see the same stripe design as on the blue shirt, except with vertical stripes obviously. Would look OK actually I reckon

JWP as player manager? I am joking before anyone comes for me

It would be nice to win at least once before the end of the season. Too much to ask for? Probably.

I feel relatively optimistic. No matter what the doomsayers say, we should be a very attractive team for any ambitious manager next season - the opportunity to coach young hungry players and to effectively build a team in your model whilst (hopefully) winning the majority of matches. Sometimes in life to take two steps forward you have to take a step back first and maybe relegation is just what we need to help us find our way again.

Lyanco would be fine in the Championship, a bit like Hooiveld. He obviously isn't good enough for the Premier League but so is most of the team. When we're in back in a couple of seasons then maybe we can talk about his future.

Don't want an apology, just a commitment to get things right. Ankersen to not get involved would be a nice start.

Oh we need more than 2 players for sure. Just in the first 11 alone that's what we need. The whole squad needs a change of mentality

Who cares, most of them won't be here next season, not worth my energy. Apathy is what they deserve.

AMN isn't a right back. Another Sports Republic masterclass in recruitment in terms of full backs, shocking.

We were by far the better team today. We gifted them that win with dreadful defending. All too little too late. Get a solid no-nonsense centre back in and a proper centre forward and we smash the Championship next season.

That would make the cost of getting up here worth it

Largely I agree, when coming into a job with a team struggling the first thing you want to do is make them solid, so I get that. But the lack of urgency from the players in recent games has been a concern and we have to go more gung ho now

Today is 5 years since that Gabbiadini goal And if you're looking for omens we have the same ref from that game I'd say the stars are aligning
