Spygate clouds Wembley as disciplinary hearing could delay the final
The Championship play-off final between Southampton and Hull City could be delayed as the EFL investigates Spygate after Southampton allegedly spied on Middlesbrough’s training; an Independent Disciplinary Commission will hear the case by May 19, with the final still planned for May 23 but contingency plans in place if scheduling changes are needed, and possible sanctions ranging from fines to points deductions or exclusion from the play-offs, subject to appeals under EFL rules.
