Likes of Sa, Krejic etc wanting to leave just showing us all the cowards they really are.

It's the inevitable cost of relegation, Rated. However, this squad desperately needs a good clear-out, so let's wait and see how good the recruitment is.
It seems to have started quite well, and don't forget, some of these players have potential international careers to consider.
It's just a pity that, collectively, or individually in some cases, they weren't good enough for the Prem.
Personally, I think the responsibility for that lies with the former management and our owners, so let's hope they truly have repented.

It's the usual case. A collective of players get relegated; individually, some think they're better than they are. I would never blame a player for lacking quality if they try. There were a few of those last season.
But ultimately, a lack of seasoned, experienced players in the squad with Premier League quality is why relegation happened, as the bad start was always going to be a hill too high to climb come January.

At the end of the day, a life in football is relatively short in the amount of time that you have to play before age catches up with you. For some players, they want to be playing at the house level for as long as possible, or moving to better teams if they can, in order to try and win a competition here or there, and, as we've seen more often than not, to try and earn as much money as possible, especially if they have a family to try and give them a great life.
As mentioned before, in our case, however, it is better to have a clear out, because things need to change, and a new freshness needs to be brought into the club.

In this past season the chickens finally came home to roost. We all could see that coming, except Jeff (also known to me as Mr Magoo). A massive clear out was necessary, and thankfully, Jeff's head was first on the block.
I'd sooner Rob went as well, but he's a lucky boy to survive. Rob now has a second chance to prove himself. If he doesn't turn things around quickly, he will be toast.

VB_Wolf, you wanna watch yourself talking about footballers' careers sensibly, there's no room for talk like that in football fandom!
