Southampton lose appeal against Championship play-off expulsion

sportsMay 20, 202620143

Southampton lost their appeal against expulsion from the Championship play-offs after being punished for spying on opponents. Middlesbrough will take Southampton's place and face Hull City in Saturday's play-off final at Wembley for a place in the Premier League. The ruling finalizes the Spygate punishment and ensures the decisive match goes ahead with Premier League promotion on the line, a result that will reshape next season's top-flight makeup and club finances.

Hull should definitely send a spy up to Middlesbrough before the play-off final. They'll get away with it because nobody will be expecting it.

So, that’s that. Stupidity of the highest order by Southampton and they’re paying the price.

As a Hull City fan, we have just been a side thought in all this. Scandalous. Going to get messy regardless of result on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Southampton loses the appeal. It's going to Middlesbourgh vs Hull on Saturday.

This is the dumbest thing Southampton have done since signing Ali Dia. Such a shame just as we'd finally found a manager who clicked after years - Eckert must have known though, right? It takes all the shine off a really impressive second half of the season. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Southampton could take it all the way even if the EFL reject their appeal. They have hundreds of millions to lose.
