'How do you divorce a football team?'

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Southampton and Brentford.

Here are some of your comments:

Peter: Totally disgusted. The players put no effort in at all. They should be ashamed to take any wages. The supporters pay good money to see a team give 100%. We brought in a manager who is definitely not up for the job. We should drop the whole team and bring in the boys from the academy - at least they would play with pride. I have been a supporter for over 50 years and this is by far the worst team I have seen. Shameful.

Lee: Our performances when we got relegated two seasons ago were embarrassing, but this season we have reached humiliating!

Anthony: How do you get a divorce from a football team? I no longer recognise this club. It has lost its soul and the players have deserted us. It has been going downhill since players started leaving for free at the end of their contracts. It hurts to watch.

Clive: Ghastly, but no surprise. Saints have recruited poorly for a long time. The only decent signings before this season were Aaron Ramsdale and Adam Lallana. When did we last have a decent goalscorer at this level? Joking aside, if Saints want to return to the Premier League they should start planning now for a return in 2026, with long-term planning of players and coaching staff who are up to scratch at this level.

Francesca: Dire. Sport Republic seem incapable of making a good decision. Two years ago they appointed a manager with no Premier League experience and they have not learned from that mistake. What identity is Ivan Juric trying to build? What is his remit: survival, long-term or a stop-gap? A lack of a shared strategy at the top permeates through the club and team.

Andy: What is there to say? This is probably the lowest point of my 50 years supporting the Saints. It is easy to point fingers at Sport Republic but the players need to take responsibility as well. A lot of them looked disinterested and resigned to relegation, along with the fans. It is so disappointing after last season. Let's at least not be bottom at the end of the season!
