💣 Acun Ilıcalı says Hull City shouldn’t have to play Middlesbrough 💬 "Our lawyers’ opinion is that we should go directly to Premier League" 💬 "We had been preparing for Southampton for 10 days. All the planning, analysis, and work was focused on them" sportwitness.co.uk/acun-ilicali-s…


🚨 Exclusive: Hull City are consulting lawyers to see if they have a case to be promoted straight to the Premier League after Southampton (subject to an appeal) were expelled from the Championship playoffs. Hull are unhappy at the prospect of facing Middlesbrough at Wembley having spent over a week preparing to play Southampton. Saints appeal is this evening and they will argue the punishment is too harsh. Hull's players had a pre-planned day off today and will return tomorrow with either two days to prepare for Boro, or potentially learn the final is against Southampton again. Hull are leaving legal avenues open, including the prospect of a challenge after the final.🐯 🤝 @alex_crook
