Hull City owner Acun Ilicali has indicated he may pursue legal action after the Championship play-off final, insisting that his club has a strong case for direct promotion to the Premier League following Southampton’s expulsion.
The East Yorkshire side are set to face Middlesbrough at Wembley on Saturday, with a coveted spot in the top flight at stake. While fans eagerly anticipate the clash at the national stadium, Ilicali claims that legal advice suggests Hull should rightfully advance to the Premier League as the last team standing.
