Wrexham star Josh Windass has called for the Championship playoffs to be replayed after Southampton were kicked out of the competition.
The Saints finished fourth in the table and defeated Middlesbrough across a two-legged semifinal, but will not be allowed to compete in the final after they admitted they spied on three clubs during the Championship season. Tonda Eckert’s side admitted to “multiple breaches of EFL regulations related to the unauthorized filming of other clubs’ training.” Those charges relate to regular league matches against Oxford United in December 2025, Ipswich Town in April 2026, and a playoff semifinal against Middlesbrough in May 2026.
