Preston boss Graham Westley has claimed that four of his squad leaked the teams tactics to Sheffield Wednesday prior to their 2-0 defeat on Saturday.
Graham Westley Preston manager"When you've got people on your own camp working against you it's miles toughâ€
After the sport, Westley said the Owls bench had told him they'd known about Prestons line-up and game-plan before kick-off.
The 44-year-old said: "That shows you what we're up against.
"It doesnt surprise me. If in case you have got people for your own camp working against you it truly is tough."
The defeat leaves Preston in 16th, just six points off the relegation zone.
"To face within the dugout today and to be informed by [Sheffield Wednesdays] dugout that four of our players had given our side to them says where our side is at," he added.
"i need to work at the basis they they wouldnt tell me a lie."
Prestons recent form was poor, despite the club parting ways with former manager Phil Brown and recruiting Westley as his replacement within the New Year.
Westley took charge at Deepdale after leaving League One rivals Stevenage.
The Lilywhites have won just three games out of 17 played in 2012, though Westley insists he can guide the side away from relegation.
"It's the job and that i gets on with it, i am going to overcome it. You need to grit your teeth and be strong."
Preston striker Iain Hume later took to his Twitter account to disclaim that he or any of his fellow players leaked team information before Saturdays fixture.
"Cant see [it], and hopefully [Im] proven right, that any of my team mates would divulge info[rmation] like that," he told BBC Sport.
"Were close and it must stay that way!"
Prestons next game is at home to Milton Keynes Dons on Saturday, when Deepdale pays tribute to club legend Sir Tom Finney who would be celebrating his 90th birthday.
