What insights does Dale Johnson provide about the Southampton situation?
VR. Yhteisellä matkalla. Sanni on Sanni, eikä sisustusinfluensseri. 72 Plus, the EFL podcast with Aaron Paul and Joby McEnuff.
What are the potential implications for Eckert after Southampton's expulsion?
Hello, everybody. Welcome along to 72 Plus, the home of the EFL from Five Live Sport. At one of the most naturally dramatic times of the season, maybe this is the most dramatic time of any EFL season. kicked out of the playoffs after admitting they spied on three separate opponents this season. Middlesbrough have been reinstated and as it stands, as we record on Wednesday lunchtime, it will be Middlesbrough who play Hull in Saturday's final. Southampton have appealed against the decision. That hearing is taking place today. In a moment, BBC Football Issues correspondent Dale Johnson will break it down for us. But first up, Joby McEnuff and Lyle Taylor alongside me for this one.
Should Middlesbrough be rewarded for Southampton's actions?
Joel, I'll come straight to you. What were your thoughts on this entire sequel?
Oh, I mean, first of all, when I heard the news at the same time everyone did sort of yesterday evening, it was total shock, I've got to be honest. Not because I don't think they deserve it, which we'll come on to, but I just didn't think that... The disciplinary panel would get to that point. I think the thing clearly that tipped it over that I've always felt, you know, this wasn't a one-off, you know, and it's been quite hard talking about it, Aaron, because it's a lot of, you know, if this happened and allegedly, you know, when I think deep down with some of the evidence that's come out, we all knew there was wrongdoing going on. And if it was one case, which I think still would have been enough to expel them, you
How is Hull City preparing for the playoff final?
But now it's clearly multiple. They've admitted to multiple breaches and multiple clubs are involved. I genuinely feel there was no other action that could have been taken than to kick Southampton out. I think there's an integrity question about competitions. course about the playoffs and ultimately this had to happen you know really sad for Southampton fans and the majority of the players who are going to miss out but ultimately this is the correct decision and one that I don't feel the EFL or the panel had any other option to come to than this I think it's the correct decision but I think they could possibly been a little bit harsher with the the
The forward going part of the punishment to admit to cheating in this way is a massive, massive thing. And I don't think there's any punishment that would be meted out that would be too harsh, if you ask me.
What did Lyle Taylor achieve at the FA Cup final?
The EFL had to set a precedent, didn't they, Joby? Because we've seen this before with Leeds United. They brought two new rules in to add a bit of steel to the rulebook. And Southampton have broken these rules. And if you break the rules, you've got to be punished, right?
Yeah, absolutely. And I think one thing, you know, again, something I've spoken about in this sort of period of time is, you know, one thing that we hold really dear in English football is the integrity, is fair competition. You know, whether it's in the Premier League, whether it's in the EFL in particular, there's an honesty about it.
What are the upcoming matchups in League One and League Two?
And again, for someone who's been involved in playoff defeats, semifinals and finals, you know, they are potentially life altering things. situations and matches you know if you're on the right side of them you know fantastic when you're not you know they're really difficult situations to try and get over and I just feel that in the cold light of day when you are waking up after a playoff defeat it's tough but what you can actually sort of used to try and get you through and motivate you is, listen, you've lost fair and square. This clearly hasn't been the case when we're talking about Southampton. There's been a real premeditated attempt to cheat.
