@secondtierpod@DKingTelegraph Can only presume @DKingTelegraph has pitched £10mil to generate some traction on his article. Click baiting at its finest! No serious journo can be throwing these kinda figures around for HH
This really is quite something. The frankness is to be applauded. But the apology is still accompanied by a real belief that fundamentally Southampton haven’t done anything wrong. And the lack of any accountability at the top of Southampton remains remarkable…
It’s been a fascinating case. Well done to all involved. We shall all look forward to reading the written reasons. For now, good luck Boro for the final!
An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

@Loulameg Jeeesus Christ! 🤦🏻♂️ This is a belter. Imagine getting your opportunity on live national radio and coming out with that. Seen some highly embarrassing views from Southampton fans over this last week.
@henrywinter What did you make of the officiating tonight @henrywinter ? How many times have we seen Premier League refs struggle without their VAR comfort blanket #SOUMID
@BBCMOTD EFL praying for a Boro win here. Outcomes have to be in Boro’s favour so the only two options I can see would be a) Southampton removed from the play-offs or b) Boro agree a hefty compensation package….
