FORMER Crystal Palace star Andre Moritz has sensationally claimed he was released in 2013 after Ian Holloway had a DREAM he wasn’t going to be happy.
The Brazilian forward was a major part of the Eagles squad that won promotion to the Premier League after beating Watford in the play-off final.
But his hopes of competing in the top-flight were dealt a major blow when he was axed from the squad due to his bosses unconscious mind.
Replying to a fan on Twitter as to why he ended up signing for Bolton that summer, the 31-year-old revealed the real reason.
He said: “All was agreed mate came down to training grounds for sign my new contract. All agreed, got there as we said 9am.
“Holloway told me he had a dream that i was not gonna be happy that year and released me. Believe me or not… as sad as it is.”
He then urged fans to ask Holloway for him to confirm the truth, before then declaring he remains a Palace fan for life.
The former Fluminense and Internacional ace said: “You can ask him, if he have the balls to confirm… that was what he told me at the time.
