Moody allegedly contacted 3 people at our club
Fri Apr 11, 2014 3:53 pm
Friday 11th April 2014.
Cardiff City believe they have ‘concrete evidence’ that Crystal Palace director of football Iain Moody contacted at least three members of their staff ahead of their fixture last Saturday.
Palace went on to win that relegation clash 3-0, but Cardiff have claimed they learnt in the days leading up to the match that Moody, sacked by owner Vincent Tan last year, had attempted between Wednesday and Friday of last week to find out team information from club employees.
A prominent source at Cardiff has told Sportsmail that a member of staff has been told to quit or be sacked and they are investigating another two employees over the spying scandal.
Cardiff have reported their claims to the Premier League and Sportsmail can reveal that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was made aware of what was allegedly going on when a message sent from Moody’s phone was received by a Cardiff employee, listing the starting 11 that Solskjaer ultimately fielded against Palace.
The employee tipped off Solskjaer, who alrted the club’s hierarchy, but the Norwegian opted against changing his team
Moody and Palace have strenuously denied that they attempted to obtain team information from anyone at Cardiff.
Cardiff have not made a formal complaint to the Premier League, but chairman Mehmet Dalman has handed over a dossier of information and requested that the incident is reviewed.
The dossier has been built around what the source calls ‘real, concrete evidence’, including phone records of staff who would have had access to the information that was leaked and text messages from Moody.
Earlier on Friday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer referred all matters relating to the incident to Dalman, but Dalman does not wish to comment.
Solskjaer raised eyebrows after the Palace defeat by indicating there was a lack of ‘loyality’ among some elements of the dressing room, though he said it was related to issues of players following his instructions.
He said on Friday: ‘ I have no reason to doubt any of my player's professionality (SIC), or honesty, integrity or loyalty.
‘I have said what I have said and the rest will come from Mehmet. I have just answered the question and how many times have I got to tell you.’
Responding to the allegations on Thursday, Moody said: ‘I don't think I have done anything wrong.
'That is incredibly, extraordinarily untrue. That is untrue, completely untrue.'
While he strongly denied contacting anyone at Cardiff to try to get information, he did admit to using wider contacts in the game to find out information, as is standard practice.
He added: 'That is the whole point of what we do as scouts.'

don't trust him - looks a nob.
I know that may well be unfair on the man having never met him or spoken to him - but from the look of him I reckon he is a nob.

Of course not - it would have to be a total conspiracy for me to be Moody....
You don't happen to know the starting XI for Aston Villa this Saturday by any chance?

Is he related to Oscar Pistorius by any chance?
