Wrexham forward Josh Windass has publicly questioned why the Championship play-offs are not being restarted following Southampton's expulsion for a spygate scandal. The Saints admitted spying on three rivals, including Middlesbrough before a semi-final, leading to their removal from the post-season tournament. Windass pointed out Wrexham, who finished two points outside the play-offs, would have faced Hull City in the semi-finals.

Southampton's four-point deduction next season and play-off ban has been deemed 'disproportionate' by the club, which is appealing. Meanwhile, Middlesbrough was reinstated and will face Hull City at Wembley on Saturday for a Premier League place, pending the appeal's outcome. Former defender Curtis Davies wondered on social media about potential consequences for other clubs like Wrexham and Millwall.

Wrexham, owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is monitoring the situation and awaiting the written verdict. The club may consider a legal claim for compensation if it is proven Southampton gained an unfair advantage that affected the final standings. No discussions have occurred yet, but options remain open. The EFL aims to resolve Southampton's appeal by Wednesday, May 20, which could further alter Saturday's fixture.
