Legit. How much advantage do you realistically gain ?

Abso-fucking-lutely

TalkShite going on about the possible outcomes; award Boro a 3-0 win for the first leg, or give them a bye to the final.

Unlike the totally spotless FA Cup finallists.

No, that is Boro's recently uncovered "whistleblower". Doesn't have any grievance against saints, no sir.

EFL say "on or before Tuesday".

Could just be more Gibbo BS.

No way Boro should benefit - they had their chance over 2 legs and blew it. "Spying" had nothing to do with that. If there is a financial hit, make it a donation to CRUK or BHF.

Goes to credibility ; a sacked Saints analyst, formerly of Middlesborough, gives a statement to his former employer that implicates the people who sacked him. Presumably he is still unemployed and open to offers from Teesside.

Why should Boro be 'compensated' for fucking up the semi finals ?

"All options ar4e on the table"............. Yes, I know you're only accused of shoplifting a mars bar, but the death penalty is still availiable.

Just play a video of the first half at the Riverside. Case closed.

The panel haven't convened, let alone come to a decision.

Wembley were advertising Saints hospitality earlier this afternoon.

Wembley still offering Southampton hospitality packages.

Would Hull on behalf of their supporters ?

No, Boro say there is.

The Crime of the Century ?

If this is Boro's response to a slight bending of the rules, maybe it's a good idea if they stay out of the Prem; what with City, Chelsea, Everton, Newcastle Villa, and all the other clubs with alleged dodgy fiinances. There could be a lawsuit every week.

If that Derby case is precedent then he should be suing his fitness coaches and strikers because they are responsible for Boro missng out on the final.

Then what happens ? Saints appeal the decision ? Reinstate Boro and Millwall protest as both teams lost. Give Hull a bye ? Rerun the whole thing with Wrexham taking our place ? Totally disproportionate to any perceived advantage gained, ( ie none ).

The EFL almost certainly do not have the right to request it, they are not an appropriate authority, and Boro certainly do not have the right to release it.

Walks around naked all day then puts on pyjamas to go to bed.
