I suspect its much more to do with the unlawful dismiss claim Moody has against Cardiff than Cardiff trying to get points deducted from us. The premiership has only ever deducted points as far as I can tell when Portsmouth went into administration.

i know what we can do,offer soon to be championship club Cardiff a friendly next season but on one condition.

Tan the man must be palace's bitch for the day and wash our kit and clean the players boots arfter the game.

either that or expect to be counter sued.

Really do think this is a massive storm in a teacup. People who work in football are constantly bandying around line ups, team news, rumours. Why wouldn't they ? Players, journos and scouts all move from team to team and gossip to each other.
So what if someone told someone who told someone who told Ian moody what team might be playing...hardly the crime of the century.
As has been mentioned, fielding an unregistered player is surely a more serious crime, and this is only punishable by a fine.

I'm sure Cardiff would have asked Wilf (a Man United player) to give them a few pointers on Palace players strengths and weaknesses.

I cant see how this would be any different to Moody tapping up a Cardiff contact for their planned teamsheet.

isnt it more likely that Bolasie rang Wilf and asked him what the teams were seeing as they're such good mates?

Clinton is Clinton. I have known him for a long time, I know his mother... Simon Jordan

So Moody supposedly phoned somebody up 2 days before the match and got the team sheet. Firstly I assume Cardiff were training before this crucial match with the potential for injuries ? So can't see having the team that early would make a difference. Not worth the paper it was written on. Secondly if somebody at Cardiff was stupid enough to give him the team then it is an internal Cardiff matter. If they received some benefit for this info then that is a different matter. Sounds like a lot of hot air at the moment and a desperate throw of the dice (like the change of manager at Norwich) from another struggling club.
