I defy anyone to sit and ponder the events that have led to a catastrophe for Saints without getting angry all over again. Cheating at all is bad enough, but it's an unforgivable misjudgment before a play-off game with club's future at stake. #SaintsFC dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/o…

Whilst I don’t think the comparison will save Southampton (especially as it will already have failed in the Commission), it’s really very hard to square Leeds’ fine with Southampton’s sanctions even allowing for the specific Reg 127 offence.



Give the promotion to Hull Southampton played dirty but Middlesboro lost fairly over 2 legs



Speaking like they’d already won the £200m and had it in their back pocket. A club who’s systematically cheated shouldn’t be allowed to even compete for it, god forbid go on and win it. The arrogance and disrespect towards Hull, the team they still had to beat, astounds me.

🚨 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
