Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

If our Lawyers cannot defend our position against UEFA, then we have the wrong Lawyers or there is something we dont know, they can put into 2026/7 Europa League, avoids the clash this year, build a better squad knowing that your earned place will be the following season, problem solved, Textor well out of the Equation then.
 
Don’t let them beat you.
You support palace any place, any ground.
Any competition. Never give up COYP 👍
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect

Henry 5 EUFA 0.
 
Don’t let them beat you.

👍👌

As Churchill would say..!!

We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight with UEFA and Forest and we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Selhurst Park, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight in the courts, we shall support and make our case on grounds around the country, we shall protest in the fields and in the streets, we shall protest in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe we will, this Crystal Palace or a large part of it maybe disgruntled and hurting, then our Empire beyond South London, united and together in the love of our Club, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, Crystal Palace with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of football and we rightly take our place in the Europa League..!!

COYP..!!
 
A fine would suit all party's. We got punishment but still allowed to participate.

Not much forest can do about it.
 
That has got to be one of the strangest decisions ever to reinstate Lyon to League one. I’m not sure something like this has ever happened before, I’m sure someone on here can enlighten me.

It looks at present we will get the conference league and it would be good to draw a line under this sorry mess so we can get our team and transfers sorted for the new season.

Amen….
 
“But in fact most of football sees the ECA as being in the pocket of Uefa, because what the clubs want is participation in European competitions and decision-making. But power rests with the 16 founder members who are permanently on the football equivalent of the UN Security Council.

Except that the smaller clubs really are getting rather fed up. As the chief executive of Lokomotiva Zagreb is reported as saying, the current unchallenged system means that “Uefa has distributed €22 billion in prize money in the last 25 years and €7 billion [around one third] of that has gone to just 12 clubs.” We might add that three quarters of all the money has gone to just 50 clubs. So the rich perpetuate themselves.”

And which is the only club in France that is a founder member of the ECA? Yes, you’ve guessed it, Olympique Lyonnaise! They are the most powerful club in a French football, and effectively speaking have a permanent right to be playing in Europe.

And bear in mind also Crystal Palace have been one of those smaller clubs challenging the status quo. In other words, we already have a reputation for being trouble makers, and this is what we’re really up against!

no speculation from me - I don't want the Conference League, if we have no Europe then we go all out for the League, after a poor start we proved last season we are better than Brighton, Villa or Forest - we can make a serious bid for 6th place, swap Guehi for Diamande, keep Eze for one more year and tear up the league, all's still not right with Man City, we can even get top 5, not that outlandish. I did like the Churchill speech, I'll go for Elizabeth I:

"I know I have the body a weak and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a chairman, and a chairman of Palace too, and I think foul scorn that Lyon or Forest or even bleedin' Brondby, or any ponce from UEFA, should invade the borders of my Europa League second round draw: to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, solicitor, barrister, short-hand typist, tea lady and rewarder of every one of your virtues on the pitch. I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you on a word of a chairman, they shall be duly paid ... we shall shortly have a famous victory over these enemies of my God, of my football club, and of my fans. Up the Palace!".
 
I've said for a while they know they will get sued by Palace or Forest unless Lyon's relegation let them off the hook.

Now they actually have to decide who they want to get sued by.

I would say Forest have a much weaker case than us though.
if this situation was a night out..

I'm from Nottingham, My mate from croydon met a nice European chick (that I was hoping to go for) on tinder, he went home and was about to bang her.... when I texted her and said he has multiple gf's on the go... one in France, one in Brazil, a hook up or two in Denmark... she naturally took stock and was confused... (he obviously doesn't... I mean he has their numbers, but he's never decisively used them)

I reminded him that I wanted her first, I got far but then bottled it... even though he won her over in the end... he said it was 'easy' and after 12 mins of soaking up her questions... boom.

so, I have cock blocked him... given him a nice little broad (that I paid for) so he doesn't feel left out, whilst I drive his bird home... I'm in his place now... I may buy a greek kebab on the way home..

2 hours later..

Anyways, turns out I couldn't get it up and failed on the first hurdle... he probably would have gotten further than me.. he hates me, as do his 18 other mates.


I'll get me coat, lol.
 
Yes. That's what I posted before too. Seems the sensible way out for UEFA and opening up a can of worms by not letting us in. Plus they love their ill gotten money.
that actually makes a lot of sense..

You missed the deadline, slap on wrist, don't do it again..

palace play in Europe.. Lyon play in Europe.. forest, well forest get what they are entitled to... conference.

as an edit, that may be a can of worms, as someone can say 'what are they being fined for?'
Breaking said rule..
"so kick them out then"
But they have their affairs in order now..
"So why fine?"

reading about the hate towards the forest guy all he asked for was clarification of the rule , if boot on other foot we would be doing the same , look its UEFA who didnt understand there own rules , that's were all the venom should be directed , them and the corrupt French FA now ,

I do feel the FA and Premier need to point out to UEFA , the errors of there way , Scottish FA got it right by relegating Rangers to 3rd tier french take note , that is the bench mark for me , lets see what happens to city

Now that Lyon has their result, we will find out ours... before the end of the week, maybe today I am guessing.. Uefa have had long enough to work it all out, their options and way forward. The longer this goes, the worse they look.
and it don't look bad enough now , it cant get any worse
