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.

@JackDavis10 Exactly that. Trim away the shite, add a few bargains (like we have with Adams), then some more loans to take a punt on. Like we have before with Kamara and then Potts. I’m sure it would lead to a more stable season with more consistent performances. Maybe even less injuries 🙏🏻
@blakepfc Rapid, strong, good on the ball. Looked well up for today too. Just wish he’d got some curl on his chance near the end and gave the scum a repeat of the Lualua celebration.
A solid signing.
Ebou is a fantastic ball winner and exactly the kind of player we need in our midfield.
If we can pair him up with someone that’s great on the ball. Is Dozzell the best partner for him?
Thoughts @HancockAnalysis? #Pompey
The Umeh deal is great. Paid 500k for someone who was injured with a year left on his deal. Rushed him back, got about 30 mins across three games and now he’s out for the season. Could have just waited the year and picked him up for free from the job centre in July. #pompey
Amazing to think in the last 20 years #Pompey have been owned by an Arms Dealer’s son, a bloke he owed money to, someone who didn’t exist, the only bloke from the UAE with no cash, Some dodgy Bankers who got arrested, the fans and now the tightest Americans on the planet. 🥲🤣
Pope jumps to his right, ball flicked past his left and Haaland stood still. VAR thinks that he could magically float sideways to get that. Shocking decision #NEWMCI
