Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

To be honest we're only upsetting ourselves if we think about blame. As hard as it'd be, probably just go "ah well, who gives a f**k, we won the FA Cup" and move on.

Ok, I know this is unrealistic 😂

Not that unrealistic. When this issue first came up I just assumed we were stuffed. I hope to be pleasantly surprised but expect to be blaming this competition for a less successful league season.

I know I can fall back on the FA Cup. I will be annoyed, but there's a post somewhere on this forum that says all I wanted to see in my life is an FA Cup win (well there's some other stuff I want to see but Susanna Reid hasn't replied to my letters). I got the main thing I wanted.
 
With the recent sale UEFA are in crisis. Their whole plan to kick us out was down to multi club ownership and now they are delaying whilst someone thinks up a new reason. Meanwhile big club Lyon are confirmed

Although we all want to be in the Europa League, the current squad cannot cover that and the Premier, a minimum of 6 Players even if we dont lose any players, a tall order, we dont want to get "caught between two stools" the Premier is first and foremost to me.

i’ve been on a massive bender the last two days but apparantly if we are kicked out of europa we are in conference league ? is that happening and why?

No, because Blitzer apparently owns Brondby and they’re in the Conference League so it would be the same issue.

We’ll be fine, we won the FA Cup, that categorically qualifies us for the Europa League and there’s enough ambiguity in the T’s & C’s for UEFA to leave us in the competition.

It would be huge and send shock waves if they threw us out and they are just not going to do that.
 
Having had a bit of time to reflect, I really don't think Palace have operated in any way in breach of UEFA's rules. Interpretation of Rules can be "absolute", "in the spirit of", or "brown envelope time"
What this situation has demonstrated to me, is yet another Governing Body , who is not fit for purpose.
The blame for this whole farce should be placed firmly at UEFA's feet, and not put on any club or owner.

UEFA sat on their fat @r5es, quaffing wine and delicacies all over the world, whilst their rules were not fit for purpose. Any kind of legal challenge by any club at this stage, might bring in to the open how badly UEFA have operated.
This theory in no way assists Palace, or any of the clubs under scrutiny. I think it will show how carefully UEFA have to tread with their decisions, or some club's legal team might want to tear UEFA a new one, and bring them all down.
