According to a report in Britain's Daily Mail, the file alleges that both Moody and Malky Mackay, who was sacked as Cardiff manager by Malaysian owner Vincent Tan in December 2013, sent a series of racist, sexist and homophobic text messages to one another during their time with the Welsh side. Two months after Mackay's departure his right-hand man Moody was fired by Cardiff, going on to join Palace's management staff.
