I think they'll give them a points deduction for the next season they are in the championship.

Agreed

Don't think Leeds got punished for the same thing a few years back, maybe rules were put in place after!
Even if Soton are pulled from the final, it should be forfeit and Hull get promoted. Doesn't benefit Middlesborough at all.
-
Farke making noises and the season isn't even over yet.
-
They've changed the rules since Leeds/Bielsa were spying.
And there's no chance the EFL won't have a play-off final. Sky would sue them.
-
Leeds were fined 200k I think but spying wasn't an explicit offence then, the rule was brought in in response to that incident. But seemingly without specifying sanctions.
Also surely if it's serious enough to throw Soton out then you have to say Boro were hard done to and should this 'benefit' by competing in final.
-
Thinking about it, wasn't there something recently where EFL and PL said they'd abide by each others punishments or something like that? Point I'm making is if it's a points deduction it could be in the PL if they win.
-
That was the angle of the Boro manager's very clever post-match comments about tactics being found out.
It's Hull who are suffering, as they don't know which opposition to plan for.
Only right thing to do is promote all three. relegate Spudz, Wet Sham and Brentford in their place and to deduct points from Boro next season for being whinging cnuts. -
Not sure this is a precedent we want to set

Canada women were docked 6 points at an Olympics for this, so it's taken way more seriously than I would have imagined.
For consistency with that, I can see them getting the boot. Although Canada were good enough to qualify by winning all three of their group games anyway. -
Notts are going to Wembley.
-
I didn't know they played cricket at Wembley.
-
It was some watch. Chesterfield were dominating a game they seemed to have no interest in scoring in.
-
I spent most of the evening watching for Cook’s head to explode
-
I hadn't realised that James Belshaw is a West Bridgford lad who grew up supporting Notts.

He's on Forest Focus podcast occasionally and is an excellent guest. Goalies have a very different perspective. Weirdos.
