I get what you're saying. But how much of a massive advantage is it to know the opponents' team, really?

Would it be of any use to know how Liverpool will line up? Would it help you win?

You still have to do the business on the pitch I guess.

I suppose you have to ask the question if there is no real advantage in knowing in advance, why did Palace try to find out?

Psychological? Maybe they thought it would help in some small way. I just don't see it being a massive help. Primarily because Cardiff are shit, whatever team they field.

I don't think there's a civil claim in it (unfortunately). The rule they've been found guilty of breaching is essentially an obligation of good faith. It would be next to impossible for Cardiff to prove that this rule breach cost them their Premier League place - they finished 6 points below West Brom.

£25k for three premiership points? I'd take that hit :lolol:

Let's be honest they would have turned Cardiff over anyway, they were useless last year,
