Dougie Freedman passed on 'leaked Cardiff team' text to OGS

Hmmm


Cardiff City have named Crystal Palace legend Dougie Freedman as the man who blew the whistle on  their spying storm.

In a five-page letter delivered to the Premier League on Thursday, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer alleged that  Freedman, now Bolton boss, was accidentally sent a text by Palace’s sporting director Iain Moody containing the Cardiff team in the days before the clubs met on April 5.


According to Solskjaer, Freedman — an old pal from the days when they took their coaching badges together — phoned the Cardiff manager two days before his side’s 3-0 home defeat to say Palace knew the team Cardiff would field.

Palace manager Tony Pulis, chairman Steve Parish and Moody will be among those interviewed by Premier League lawyers on Tuesday.

Parish is backing Moody, who was sacked by Cardiff last year, while Pulis insists he didn’t put pressure on the club’s sporting director to obtain the team.

Cardiff are also asking for the result to be set aside.

Solskjaer did not register an official complaint on the Thursday afternoon when he was told of the alleged spying. Instead he waited until he met Pulis in the corridor at Cardiff City Stadium and said words to the effect of: ‘Here’s our team — but I guess you already know it.’

Cardiff’s complaint includes a text from Moody naming midfielder Aron Gunnarsson as the source of the information.

Cardiff claim it reads: ‘Straight from Gunnarsson their line up is 4-4-2 Marshall, KTC, Caulker, Turner, Taylor, Daehli, Medel, Mutch, Zaha, Campbell, Jones.’

Gunnarsson and his agent are reported to have denied passing on the team line-up, while a well-placed Cardiff source said: ‘We do not believe Aron supplied this information.’

Instead, the club believe a member of staff was responsible for leaking the team and claim further that Moody attempted to contact at least three of their employees. Moody has strenuously denied contacting Cardiff employees.

Moody is friends with Enda Barron, a performance analyst fired by Cardiff over another matter. Cardiff have minuted a claim Barron spoke to Moody, but he refused to agree to it.

Interesting indeed...and IF true that Moody is guilty, then only one outcome (the sack) and Vincent Tan will feel that Moody has pretty much done his (Tan's) job of discreditation for him!

The 'investigation' will be interesting...and the results even more so

Shit. I paid a pretty penny not long ago for a gunnarsson match worn poppy shirt.

Innocent until proven guilty though

Tan has said it will all come out in the end, panto villain has it right! Moody was a rat. Viva Vincent Tan

If this article is true, then I'm glad there's a third party involvement. The league ca'nt brush it under the carpet so easily, by saying it's one persons word against another.

very strange if true.......Dougie had it texted to him in error..........he used to be Palace manager.....suggests to me the text came from someone long standing at Palace,not Moody..and Dougie by letting on,has grassed up someone he knows and who has his mobile number.......lots of axes to grind..hmmm

Agreed! But I think Tans grudge against Moody is the real reason behind this. Moody is seeking compo from CCFC and this episode is another weapon Tan has against him. Don't think this had anything to do with getting the result annulled in my opinion.

If this is true what will happen to Aron Gunnarsson?

Moody has been paid his contract in full by tan the week after he was sacked. He has no ongoing dispute with Cardiff unlike his supposed best friend Malky .
With the above taken into consideration why on earth moody decided to get involved in text gate is beyond me as all he has done is give ammunition to tan to prove that he was right to sack moody and he has done Malky no favours either with his ongoing legal battle with tan.
It's no secret that tan is having the Cornelius transfer investigated for signs of bungs so it makes Moody's behaviour even more bizarre although it would seem he has been unlucky to be caught by someone texting Dougherty freedman by mistake.
Perhaps the club are using the whole situation to create a siege mentality within the dressing room.

I believe you are right in everything you say here.

I think they would have gone to the PL anyway, but as a result of this there is the added benefit of galvanising the team, creating a siege like, backs to the walls mentality, that is reminiscent of Sir AF's reign at Man Utd.

It's all very unclear to me and I smell a rat somewhere along the line,if true anyone involved should have the book thrown at them,if it's made up to discredit certain people then our club will become even more of a joke.This is dreadful news that can only affect the dressing room especially when a key player has been named,we need this like a ole in the head with 4 cup finals coming up.

Dougie Freedman for next Cardiff manager after this?
