😂 All set for a club takeover in the summer meaning next season we are a "different" club, meaning your prediction stays correct forever.

They've created a situation now where no matter what happens they're going to face serious legal action. None of this would be happening if they'd just decided on a punishment when they made it a law.

When they said AI would take our jobs I didn't realise it extended to talking bollocks on a football forum too.

Welcome back Trousers...

Perhaps, but it's not up to the EFL now.

Adrian Durham: "How can you let a team that has cheated the rules go to Wembley, that just can't happen". The irony of that statement following Man City winning the FA cup at Wembley...

Now that is the one outcome that definitely will not happen. For one thing, Boro weren't reinstated as part of our punishment - so our appeal has nothing to do with that. For another, the EFL won't go without a playoff final, they just won't.

We had sold out when they expelled us so that argument holds no weight at all. Besides it's not the EFL making the decision.

I think the direction of the wind is changing today. It's all gonna come down to one senior legal expert reviewing the decision made yesterday and whether it was proportionate or not.

The Southampton Pidgeons.

If I were another championship side I'd just turn up at Wembley at 2:30 and try my luck at getting a game.

Nah pretty sure they were all barristers weren't they?

Christ, you're more of a crackpot conspiracy theorist than he is.

I can only assume Middlesbrough are playing Hull first half and we're playing second half 😂

We're never gonna forget it that's for sure.

Genuinely one of the funniest posts I've seen.

Feels very strange to hear Simon Jordan speaking up in our defence. I have to say, the mood in general does seem to be shifting the other way this morning. Something else he mentioned is that the EFL obviously think we've brought the game into such disrepute that they need to expel us...surely the way the EFL is handling this now is bringing the game into more disrepute than anything we did?

Do we have to go to Winchester? I'd rather drink on Poole harbour. Edit; you bastard @Mattio beat me to it.

It'll certainly make the 40th playoff match a memorable one.

Not yet.

Danny Murphy and Rickie Lambert on talksport says expulsion shouldn't be the punishment, both saying the impact of any spying would be minimal.

Wow...so the EFL are admitting it isn't a done deal.

Le Tissier led consortium putting a bid together as we speak.
