The selhurst park outfit's sporting director iain moody formerly of cardiff was reportedly accused of obtaining information by underhand means but described the allegations as "incredibly extraordinarily untrue".
Moody said he sought to get as much information as possible on palace's opposition but insisted his work crossed no boundaries.
"that is untrue completely untrue. absolutely not - not under any circumstances" he told the sun.
