Southampton expelled for spying

Southampton Football Club has been expelled from the Championship play-offs after an EFL commission found them guilty of spying on multiple rival clubs.

Middlesbrough will now take the Saints' place in the play-off final against Hull City at Wembley this weekend.

The commission described the club's approach as 'deplorable,' finding that manager Tonda Eckert had authorized the clandestine operations.

Other clubs, including Millwall and Wrexham, are reportedly considering legal action for compensation following the scandal.
