Mystery shrouds Cardiff’s spying claims

Confusion reigns as to what action may or may not have been taken at Cardiff over the alleged leaking of team information to Premier League rivals Crystal Palace.

It was indicated yesterday by sources at the club that one member of staff had been sacked and another was set to be disciplined, after reports to that effect emerged in the Welsh media.

But it is now understood the situation is ongoing, and no one has yet been dismissed on what has been a hectic day at Cardiff City Stadium.
