A spy scandal in the Championship: Southampton is disqualified from the playoff finals

Spionage scandal in the Championship: Southampton eliminated from the playoff finals The Disciplinary Committee of the English Football Association (FA) made an unprecedented decision regarding the results of the semifinal stage. It should be noted that an incident occurred before the match against Bournemouth. Despite the sporting victory of the “saints,” the punishment was severe: the club was eliminated from the finals, and four points will be deducted from its ranking in the next season. Middlesbrough will now compete for a place in the FA Cup. In the photo, we see a player who was detained, as his actions led to such severe sanctions.
