L'EFL potrebbe rinviare la finale dei play-off di Championship per il caso di spionaggio del Southampton

L'EFL ha avvertito che la finale dei play-off di Championship potrebbe subire un ritardo dopo aver accusato il Southampton di aver spiato il Middlesbrough prima della semifinale. La partita contro l'Hull City è attualmente prevista per il 23 maggio a Wembley.

Il Southampton ha raggiunto la finale dopo aver battuto il Middlesbrough nel doppio confronto, inclusa una vittoria per 2-1 nella gara di ritorno al St Mary's. Il club è stato deferito dall'EFL l'8 maggio, il giorno prima dell'andata, in seguito a segnalazioni secondo cui un analista del Southampton sarebbe stato visto filmare la sessione di allenamento del Middlesbrough a Rockliffe Park. L'allenatore del Middlesbrough, Kim Hellberg, ha descritto l'episodio come vergognoso e ha dichiarato di aver sofferto molto dopo la sconfitta della sua squadra nel doppio confronto.
