The EFL Hearing is on Thursday I’ve been told this evening. The decision/sanction will also be delivered on Thursday too.

This is from the former Boro Comms Manager.
 
BREAKING: Middlesbrough are set to present evidence that at least TWO other clubs were spied on by Southampton.

Apparently 4 clubs in total now. Does this change things? Why should Boro be the ones compensated and playing in the final? Just promote the only team who’s got there fairly
 
but that makes no sense when the offence was this season as was any advantage they might have got. Needs a quick decision, which should be do-able as they admit the offence, with the punishment applied to the correct season.
Unfortunately can't see them having the balls to do the right thing.
The thing is Leicester gained an advantage by flouting the FP rules... it got them promoted... what did they get 2 points which thankfully got them relegated...

You can see Wrexham would be willing to take legal action. I wonder if Oxford United might give it a spin too? If it is proven to be more than one club, Southampton should be relegated to League One, not just kicked out of the play offs. That would be blatant multiple attempts at cheating.
 
Pointless punishment if they go up, next time they’re here the management will be completely different as will most the players. Will be punishing an innocent team and the perpetrators won’t give a ****.

Massive fine is the only option I reckon about £250k.
250k is not a massive fine.... we got 50k for a touch line spat...
