No, of course the EFL will fight it. But it's not them that Hull are taking their case to, it's the high court. It will be Hull v the EFL. So they won't be able to fudge it themselves this time.
Yes but they didn't do that. They 'expelled' us from the playoffs, which means there's probably a good argument to be made that the playoffs should have been re-run with Boro, Hull and Wrexham all moving up a place in the order.
Entrapment, no. But if they were knowingly sitting on the whistleblower's evidence, with the intention of using to their own advantage, then they have a very obvious case to answer for not acting in good faith.
I'll be surprised if it happens, but I'd love to see Boro win only to have it taken away from them on a technicality.
Would be some poetic justice in that.
Good. Someone needs to challenge the absolute carve-up of putting Boro back in to the final.
If they are going to claim that our expulsion was deserved on the basis of only seeking to gain an advantage but not actually gaining one, then they can't have it both ways.
Especially seeing as they've got a world cup to focus on next month. We can't afford to wait for their conclusions - we have to act and be seen clearly to be acting ASAP.
