Eckert has been given a seven-day window to respond to these specific charges, though a talkSPORT report suggests he is unlikely to contest the findings. This development marks a new low in a saga that saw the Saints disqualified from the Championship play-offs in May. While the club successfully defeated Middlesbrough 2-1 on aggregate on the pitch, they were eventually replaced in the final by their opponents after the EFL’s disciplinary commission intervened.
