Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

[Jason Smith]

I keep having this dream about a little boy pressing his face against a shop window called Euroland. And inside there’s all these toys stuffing cash into each other’s pockets!

Spot the difference-

Textor ' ...when we won the FA Cup I knew we were in trouble...'

Parish '....we won the FA Cup..we will be in Europe next season which will be a first for the club....'

Time will tell (eventually).

 

[Phil’s Barber]

To be perfectly honest I am not privy to all the facts, I do not profess to having an in-depth knowledge of the UEFA rules that are currently at the heart of the matter.
Should we get demoted and the reasons for such action is made clear I will then form a judgement.

That’s really helpful Willo and good to know, thank you ☺️

Textor calling Steve P an alpha male should be all the proof we need that he has zero decisive influence at the club.

Sounds like he knows we're in the Conference League but he's wondering how to sell it to the fans.

It is the model of plausibility that the Email was perused but was deemed irrelevant, as at that juncture expectations of qualifying for Europe were not just low but subterranean.

Email is not legal service so irrelevant UEFA will have to prove were given adequate notice onus is not on receiver of a document.

In fairness, the onus is on us to know the rules.

I sent Textor a really questionable dm on instagram when this all started about how he needs to sell his shares & that his wife gets banged by her golf instructor for some reason… The way he talks about what people say on social media leads to believe he defo saw it.

Is "golf instructor" a euphemism for "everyone"?

Weirdly the Labour government have the same dream.

 

[Spiderman]

Yes I agree , but surly something as important as that should have been sent out in December, not last minute . Com

Why change it after the start of the season?

Did anyone notice something? When "we won the FA Cup I knew we were in trouble". Am I right in thinking Lyon had not qualified at that stage? How did he know they would?

Lyon and Strasbourg had not even started their last matches when Palace lifted the Cup. However, they would have known that we had qualified for the Europa League. It was to be expected that Lyon would win their last match. Strasbourg, on the other hand, were on an amazing run (22/24 points including beating PSG) and in position to gain a Champions League place. To lose their last two matches against relegation threatened sides seems a bit suspicious. One point would have been enough to put Lyon out of the Europa League.

As one earlier correspondent has pointed out the post season transfer dealings involving Chelsea and Forest raise some serious questions. Who would have thought that the loan player giving away the last minute penalty which denied Strasbourg a European place, Omobamidele, would then be signed from parent Club Forest. I am sure the Strasbourg fans are not amused.

These last two results saved Tod Boehly some embarrassment. A Daily Toriegraph article dated 29th March thought that the Chelsea owner should consider putting his Strasbourg shares in a trust implying that he had not already done so. If this is the case then he missed the 1st March deadline. The only way out was for Strasbourg conveniently lose some matches. Had they won their last two they would be 3rd in Ligue 1 gaining a Champions League place at Chelsea’s expense.

Maybe I am too suspicious and should adopt the approach of Candide (Voltaire)…”all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds”.

He nicked that line off of Kris Kristofferson.

This was exactly my point. Thanks. I couldn't remember the exact details - which are more damning. Forest's first buy of this season: Botafogo striker! Jesus.

 

[mtp1958]

They hadn’t but only because PSG hadn’t yet beaten bottom of Ligue 1 Reims in the Coupe de France. It was a reasonable expectation that this would happen as soon as we won on 17 May.

they didnt kick off there last lge games until 8pm on 17th lyon was still 2 points behind at that point , with Strasbourg playing le Havre , le havre at to win to stay up , strasbourg needed a draw , and let a 99min pen put them below lyon , then it was the french cup game following week , sounds like the fix was in mmmmmm sorry just noted i wrote this all for nothing already done oops

To not deal with the email either makes us look to UEFA, Arrogant or Incompetent, whether it is a legal document or not.

Their 2nd signing, just annunced, is Cunha from, yup, you guessed it, Botafogo.

It's f***ing crazy. Needs to be made something of in the press. We need to play dirty too. I think we're too naive.

they have form for it .
