Southampton Hit By 10 Point Deduction

Southampton will be relegated to League One after the Football League decided to impose a ten point penalty.

The penalty will apply this season if they finish outside the relegation zone, but will come into force next season if they are relegated on results alone. They are currently four points short of safety and anything other than a win on Saturday will effectively relegate them.

The League have decided that the finances of their parent company and the club itself are inextricably linked, and that the club is liable for the deduction under financial rules.
