Southampton have ruthlessly axed 12 players including former Premier League winner Adam Lallana as they prepare for life in the Championship.
The Saints were relegated after a miserable campaign which saw them pick up a mere two wins and end the season on 12 points, just one point above Derby's record low tally.
Their fate was sealed with seven games to spare in April and they will return to second tier action in August.
The South Coast side appointed Will Still as their new manager last month, with the Englishman signing a three-year deal, and they are targeting an immediate return to the Premier League.
