That had nothing to do with Palace but related to potential legal action by MacKay and Moody relating to their departures from Cardiff and claims for sums owed, which were settled out of court in exchange for those cringe-worthy apologies.

Technically yes. But I think you can probably conclude that a combination of the grovelling apology, the business done with KG, and the deafening silence about spygate means the episode is now closed to everyone's satisfaction. I doubt Cardiff want it raked up as it embarrasses them more than it hurts us and with the apology, albeit for something else, Tan can pretend he has bent Moody to his will. In my view, the story's over.

That's stating the obvious. The original point was your assertion that "we've publicly announced that the dispute has been settled". The closest we've come to that is SP's reported comments not the business between Tan, Mackay and Moody which is just speculation on your part.

This would be a top signing for years to come, with the potential of a good sell on value as well.
Might only be rumours but nice to see the types of players were being linked to.

Cardiff dont need the money so hell will freeze over before the tan man lets him join us.
It's not up to Cardiff. If he has a clause where a bid of a certain amount triggers a buyout and they have to sell then it's entirely up to Caulker where he goes. All Cardiff can do is collect the money.
Can see it now, we sign him through this contract agreement he has in it and tan throws a hissy fit, reports us to the PL and a big fuss is made over it again trying to incite that Malky did some dodgey stuff there 
Given that a). we've publicly announced that the dispute has been settled, and b). they signed KG last week, don't you think that both Cardiff and Palace have got rather more important fish to fry than prolonging a silly dispute? On the evidence of this thread, I'd say that river of water is well and truly under the bridge in the minds of everyone except a few fans with too much time on their hands.
Was said in a joking way mate, even reading that I would guess it has gone away and thank god.
The KG signing didn't go through the club as he was a free agent so it wouldn't have meant any involvement from us as a club at all.
In terms of Caulker, looks like Everton have stepped in

Where have you seen this Syd?
See Hambo's post on 3 June 14 at 12.58pm
[Link]
i had a look at that thread, but didn't think Hambo said we had been told it was case closed?
I honestly don't know. All Steve P said was that they had heard nothing from the Premier League since and that they didn't expect to since they had done nothing wrong. An agent told the club the team. This is apparently not uncommon! (hambo)
Was hoping Syd had heard something with proper closure, and if no wrong doing, an apology!!?
Edited by MPE (16 Jun 2014 4.46pm)
Is correct, "Hambo" did not say it had been settled.
As there has been no official announcement it is likely all parties the PL and both clubs that as it was all hyped up by the media, to just let things cool down as there was no case.
Tan is not the sort of person who would let things be swept under the carpet if he was in the right, so to save face has agreed for all parties to take a stance of silence on the matter.

Can't see us getting any players from Cardiff (hmm not sure why). Nice target but I don't think it's going to happen...I suspect Hangeland is more likely (NB: any news on a left back by the way.....)

Caulker + Dann would make us extremely strong at the centre of defense. It's not an exaggeration, considering what England took to the World Cup, to imagine we could have an international combo at the heart of our defense if this comes off. Those two, allied to Pulis' scheme which gives the central defenders a lot of help/cover would make us even harder to score against than last year. Yes please.

Why Campbell?

KG was a free agent the player could go where he liked.
There would be no contact needed between the clubs...his move to Cardiff indicates nothing at all. Some may like to think VT had forgotten all about it now...we will see if he had.

All this talk about bad feeling and non-contact between Palace and Cardiff, it's not the way top business men behave. Cardiff will take the best offer and I hope it's from Palace as this man will, with the current Palace defence, make Palace almost invicible.

Bear in mind you are dealing with the TanMan here. This is a guy who sacked moody and replaced him with a kid who was a painter and decorator. Is that the way top business men behave ? With VT anything is possible, normal standards of behaviour do not apply here.
