A League Arbitration Panel has today dismissed Southampton Football Club’s appeal against the Independent Disciplinary Commission’s decision in respect of breaches of EFL Regulations.
As a result, the original sanction remains in force. Southampton’s expulsion from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs stands, alongside the four-point deduction to be applied to the Club’s 2026/27 Championship record and the reprimand in respect of all charges. In accordance with EFL Regulations, the decision of the League Arbitration Panel is final.
Following the conclusion of the proceedings, the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final between Hull City and Middlesbrough is confirmed as taking place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23 May, kicking off at 3.30pm.

Admins everywhere. Step back and admire this perfect example of a sad corner flag from United. Stretford End in the background, moody sky, full club crest on the flag. Textbook. 👌

In case you are not from the UK, yet another British citizen has been murdered by an illegal migrant who should never have been in the country to begin with.
Just a normal guy, walking his dog, and now he’s dead. Stabbed to death on the street by some primitive from Afghanistan.
Living in the UK is now a deeply radicalising experience.
I no longer recognise my country, and I am beyond furious with the so-called ‘leaders’ who have done this. They clearly despise us.
They are more interested in protecting the rights of people who break our laws over the law-abiding majority who respect our laws.
They are leaving our borders wide open. They are even placing nearly 200,000 young men, most of them from Third World Islamic nations, in the very heart of our communities, despite KNOWING they include terrorists, murderers and rapists.
They are forcing us to pay £15 billion for the privilege and then they call us “racist” or “far right” when we complain.
They Take the Knee for some guy in Minnesota but refuse to say anything at all about young British mothers like Rhiannon Whyte, stabbed in the head 20 times with a screwdriver by some primitive from Sudan.
They fall over themselves to tell us our country is “racist” but they can’t even be bothered to hold a national inquiry into the mass rape of our children by Pakistani Muslim gangs which was, clearly, driven by anti-White racism. And why won’t they? Because they don’t want to “upset” the Muslim voters who are keeping them in power.
Routinely, consistently, they are gaslighting, misleading and simply lying to us, like the time they said we were “misinformed” to wonder what was going on in our country when, at the very same time, they were secretly flooding our country with thousands of Afghans while gagging the press and lying to us.
I am so done with this disastrous regime in Westminster, this utterly incompetent political class, this total refusal to actually put the hardworking, tax-paying, law-abiding majority in this country where they ought to be —first.
I am voting Reform —clearing out this rot in Westminster is the only chance we have of turning this country around and saving it. It is the only credibly alternative from outside the Establishment.
And I would urge you all to do the same.
Suicide.
I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.
You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.
Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.
I know 2 men who hung themselves.
One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.
A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.
So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?
A segway for a moment.
I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.
After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..
"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".
Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.
"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.
After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".
Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".
And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.
Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.
If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.
They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".
They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.
If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.
Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.
So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.
You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.
For those who struggle, you're not alone.
