"Southampton" intends to appeal the English Football League's (EFL) decision to remove the team from the Championship play-off final for promotion to the Premier League due to the unauthorized filming of "Middlesbrough's" training session.
İdman.Biz reports that journalist Ben Jacobs reported this on his X social media page.
According to the source, "Southampton" considers the decision unfair and is considering all legal appeal options.
In addition to being removed from the Championship play-off, "Southampton" will be deducted four points from next season's competitions.
It was previously reported that a "Southampton" analyst was caught filming "Middlesbrough's" tactics and training before the teams' first play-off match. "Southampton" then defeated "Middlesbrough" 2-1 on aggregate to advance to the final. The team was due to play "Hull" on Saturday, May 23 to be promoted to the Premier League.
