Aren't they both out of contract at the end of the season? I don't see why the furore online, surely if Saints had plans for either then they would have deals secured before now.

Given the general malaise around the club the last 12-18 months it wouldn't surprise me if they have been caught slipping with this new rule around contract negotiations with other clubs and have been beaten to the punch. You have to wonder what king of long term planning is currently in place when a coach is out of contract at the same time as more than half his players.

There's no way we should have let this happen,
The numbers you quoted as out of contract was ridiculous for any club, let alone one as big as Saints
i know you wouldnt want to keep them all as you stated and would be happy to see some go, but i seem to think it was 4 or 5, you would def keep, a similar number to let go, and the rest i'm assuming you would have been happy to stay. In the SC world, a team cant have world beaters in every position and as with Wigan you need a Willie Isa, Abbas Miski type player, who does a good job but you know they are team players, and unlikely to be on massive money
It seems like Saints, especially in regards to the new rule for out of contract players have taken their eye off the ball
