SAINTS boss Ruben Selles has explained that the club ‘will present an agenda’ on how they will deal with relegation to the Championship.

Monday night’s 4-3 defeat at Nottingham Forest all-but confirmed Saints’ relegation with Selles’s side now eight points adrift with just three games to go. 

Failure to beat Fulham on Saturday would officially curtail Saints’ 11-season stay in the top flight and boss Selles has provided insight into how the club could react to that eventuality. 

"The club will present an agenda in the coming days or weeks on how they are going to deal with the situation in case that happens," Selles said following the slender defeat at the City Ground. "And that's for the club to respond on that.

"I can tell you what we did until this moment right now and what we are going to do for the next week - we are going to just keep working as much as we can, and then keep the situations for the future, for the people that need to be responsible for that.”

It’s been a tough spell for Selles who stepped into the managerial role after Nathan Jones was sacked following just eight games in charge. After winning two of his first three games, Selles has now overseen a ten-match winless run, Saints’ longest of the season.

The Spaniard’s contract expires at the close of the current campaign and addressing his own future, the Saints manager said: "I expected to win more football matches.

"And I think we put some good performances in to do that. And it's a decision that the club need to make. I will be happy to be here for the next ten years, as I say many times to you. But it's not for me to make a decision."
