Southampton manager Ruben Selles has revealed that the club are planning to present an agenda outlining how they will deal with potential relegation. Southampton will need to win all of their remaining three games, while also hoping that Forest lose all of theirs and Everton don’t pick up more than one point. Selles said, “The club will present an agenda for the coming days or weeks on how it is going to deal with that if it happens. 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.”
Selles’ own contract as manager expires at the end of the season and despite an impressive start to his reign, winning two of his first three games, Southampton have only collected three points from their past 10 matches and just one in seven since the March international break. Selles expressed his desire to stay but admitted that there is nothing he can do to force the situation. He said, “I expected to win more matches. 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.” He concluded by saying, “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.”
