Crystal Palace sporting director Iain Moody refused entry into Cardiff City directors' box - reports

Reports claim Cardiff City refused former recruitment chief entry to the directors' box

Former Cardiff City recruitment chief Iain Moody was refused entry into the club's directors' box ahead of the clash with Crystal Palace, according to reports

The Mirror claims Moody, who was axed by the Bluebirds in October 2013 , was made to sit among away supporters on his return to the club.

Owner Vincent Tan, who was in the directors' box himself, accused Moody and former manager Mackay of instigating a £15m summer overspend following promotion to the Premier League - an accusation both men strongly deny.

Moody maintains he has never been given an explanation as to why the club decided to replace him with 23-year-old rookie Alisher Apsalymov.

And, according to the Mirror, Cardiff advised Crystal Palace that he wouldn't be welcome in the directors' area ahead of today's Premier League relegation clash.

In a recent explosive interview , Tan said one day he will tell fans the "truth" about the saga surrounding the sacking of Mackay once a legal case between Cardiff and the Scot has concluded.

He said: "Fans are not involved in the management, fans don't know the details, my message to the fans is: I came to your town, I saved your club, I put in a lot of money, I took it up after 51 years into the Premier League.

"Supporters, it is your club. Why do you want to do stupid things and be influenced by people who have done things not right for the club?

"You will know later that they have not done things right for the club

"Without me, this club would have gone down and the way they have spent money, if I don't put in more money, we will be in trouble again."

Glad to see there's more dissenting voices against the board's agenda other than my own

Who cares about Moody? These days all we seem to care about is off the pitch troubles and clock watching, I just can't understand why we can't get behind the team!! We could have had a 70 minuet silence yesterday!! :old:

It's that pathetic village mentality thar runs throughout your club.

Think your bigger and better than what you are whilst having the professionalism of Barnet FC.

Crack pot dictator clues less of football.

Slime ball chairman ... Clueless of football.

A board of nodding dogs in red and black ties with Malaysian lip stick just in case tans ass wafts by.

More fan groups with dividing opinions too than market stalls in splott. ( mainly made up from thickos who thing they are intelligent - most dangerous type ) or clowns like that gog Tim Hartley on a political movement stance - well he did work for s4C.

A local media who talk about average premiership players as if they are superstars, - goes to their little brains everytime they read the back page of the echo when in reality a small minnow in a big pond. Clearly shows in their performance and attitude, with players often pissed up and having to be rescued from pubs and night clubs.

That's just the surface of it...... Then there's the treatment of the muppets who continue to work for the Club

Harsh maybe .... But so true. To the outside world in premiership football is that your a shambles start to finish. Harsh but true.
