1. U're in Shakespeare class, James, did not know u had that in u.
2. Wonder if this Tan-business had got started in the first place if all the spy facts was the same, but Cardiff had won 3-0? What a twit and a huge question mark over OGS as manager. He told a Norwegian newspaper that he "felt sick about the way Palace conducted themselves!"

Thanks, appreciated (you did know I write books and am a published author didn't you?). Took me five minutes from start to finish but I never bothered to check it!

I really do believe this is going to come back and bite Cardiff on the backside.

Had Cardiff won Tan would be giving it large about how we knew their team and they still beat us - but he would not be making complaints.

I haven't read all the posts so this point may have been mentioned! If it is true that Cardiff knew about this insider information leak before the game and they seriously believed it was going to impact the game then why did they not raise the issue and get the game postponed. Of course they didn't as they expected to win and it is trivial. However to raise the issue retrospectively now contradicts themselves as if they truly think it serious they should have reported it before the game. In business to know of insider dealing and not report it is equally as guilty and penalised as the persos who act on the insider information......... I say Cardiff to be relegated to the Welsh League where they belong

This is totally distracting me from worrying about Pulis staying now we''ve reached 40 points. Nevermind can concentrate on the football today.

It Had the same effect on me earlier in the week I think it's the fact that it's the unknown. we just need to try and forget about it and cheer on the guys today.

I first went to palace when I was 4 a wooden box to sit/stand on and monkey nuts at half time, now 46 years later come on you Eeeeeagles,I

Been thinking more about this.

Any solicitors or barristers on here please correct me.

It seems to me that Freedman only had the responsibility to raise the issue if it appeared something criminal had been undertaken. In any case that is surely the first point, did Moody do something criminal in which case the Courts would have jurisdiction.

Assuming he did not, it looks possible he is in breach of his Settlement Agreement. In that case, if what has been said earlier in this thread is correct, Cardiff can take him to civil court and I would think the Premier League couldn't stop an employer taking its ex employee to court.

So the next threshold to cross is to prove he breached his confidentiality or non-compete clause(s). If that is done successfully, I would expect Cardiff to be able to reclaim what was paid to Moody in his Settlement Agreement, especially as he probably mitigated much of his loss when he left Cardiff as he joined Palace pretty quickly. I would also expect Cardiff to try to obtain damages. Here there would be a big burden of proving the loss and I doubt they would have any success.

Presumably Cardiff can't join Palace to any civil case as it says above that one Premier team can't sue another. So then the Premier League has to act in place of the courts.

If Cardiff can prove a wrong and prove the amount of loss suffered, the Premier League may then take some action. Many hills to climb before getting to that point and it's arguable they suffered no loss at all. I can't for one minute believe the Premier League would impute that Cardiff would have won had none of this happened, so I just don't see a points deduction or a replay. Maybe a fine to slap us on the wrist and some small damages to Cardiff for the hassle factor.
