Southampton will 'present agenda' on coping with demotion - Ruben Selles

Posted : 09 May 2023
According to manager Ruben Selles, Southampton intends to "offer an agenda" detailing their strategy for dealing with relegation.

Following Monday's 4-3 loss at Nottingham Forest, the Spaniard promised that the Saints will "continue to fight," but he also noted that it would take an improbable set of events for them to prolong their 11-year Premier League tenure.

Southampton would need to win all three of their remaining contests, as well as hope that Forest loses all of theirs and Everton only accrues one more point.

"The club will present an agenda for the coming days or weeks on how it is going to deal with that if it happens," he said. "That is for the club to respond.

"I can tell you what we are going to do for the next weeks - we are going to just keep working as much as we can and keep the situations for the future for the people that need to be responsible for that."

The end of the season marks the expiration of Selles' personal management contract.

Following the dismissal of Nathan Jones in February, Selles had an impressive start to his reign, winning two of his first three games. However, since then, Selles and his team have only managed to earn three points from their last ten games, and just one in seven since the March international break.

Selles acknowledges that while he would want to stay, there is nothing he can do to make that happen.

"I expected to win more matches," he said. "I would be happy to be here for the next 10 years. I tried to do my best.

"But it is not for me to make that decision. It is a decision the club needs to make.

"In the situation we are in right now, it's so much uncertainty for everybody, not only for Southampton but for a lot of clubs who are in the same situation every season.

"We just need to handle it in the best way possible and then continue facing forward, whatever it is. If it's together, then it's better."
