Die EFL hat vor einer möglichen Verschiebung des Championship-Play-off-Finals gewarnt, nachdem Southampton wegen Spionage gegen Middlesbrough vor ihrem Halbfinalduell angeklagt wurde. Das Spiel gegen Hull City ist derzeit für den 23. Mai im Wembley-Stadion angesetzt.

Southampton zog nach einem Sieg über zwei Spiele gegen Middlesbrough ins Finale ein, darunter ein 2:1-Sieg im Rückspiel im St Mary's. Der Verein wurde am 8. Mai von der EFL angeklagt, einen Tag vor dem Hinspiel, nachdem Berichte aufgekommen waren, dass ein Analyst von Southampton dabei beobachtet wurde, wie er das Training von Middlesbrough im Rockliffe Park filmte. Middlesbrough-Trainer Kim Hellberg bezeichnete den Vorfall als beschämend und erklärte, es habe ihm das Herz gebrochen, nachdem sein Team die Partie verloren hatte.
