The piece can be found here.

Basically it explains the situation the club finds itself in and suggests we should expect bad news in the near future regarding Gabbs and James Collins.

The recent spat with the Echo gets a mention and then next up comes this website.

I'm mentioned by name, the piece reads

ii) One of the "unofficial" fans websites run by Mike Morris is operating in some instances in an irresponsible way. Freedom of speech and expression of opinions is vital to our success - it is sacrosanct and should always continue. However coming on the site anonymously and printing libellous accusations and putting out stories that are out and out lies which affect the Clubs image and Club business should not be taking place.

We need to appeal to Mike's better judgement, loyalty and love of the Club to do something about this. The alternative is bad blood and infighting between members of the same family with the Club, Mike and the fans being the losers. The bottom line is that Mike and anyone posting on his site should accept responsibility for what they write.

I could scream it's free speech leave us alone but I feel that I should be and am more responsible than that. The messageboard on offer at www.cardiffcity.com is crucial to the diversity of fans of the football club. Personally I will attempt to regulate the board more efficiently as I have no interest in hosting libellous or slanderous postings. I may miss some of the more "dodgy" posts but I will be more stringent in policing a forum that gives City fans a chance to have a rant.

I appeal to the users of the board to consider what they are posting. Free speech does not give you the right to break the law.

If you have issues then you have a right to voice them. As long as you do it with acceptable boundaries then I have no problem.
