Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

As I have mentioned before, I am not sanguine about our chances with CAS and think our only hope will be on 'moral' grounds rather than any technical claims.

We will need the very best lawyers, specialists in 'loophole finding' and I am doubtful if an attack on Forest, if this is implied by the announcement, will bear much fruit. Although it will at least add extra spice to our first home match.

Defeatist and fatalistic I may be but I cling to the faint hope that our moral argument may yet prevail.
CAS dont consider any moral grounds, their judgement is purely based on the facts as applied to the rules.
 
The one point that will help us the fact that UEFA delayed there decisions until Lyon appeal was done , so causing a knock on effect , which CAS will not be amused about , and thats just 1 we have alot more
 
Just happy the appeal is in and we are fighting for what is right.
My actual interest in us playing in the Europa League has diminished and it's about the injustice of this decision and process. I'm sure that will change if we win the appeal.
But in isolation the Conference League wouldn't be a bad competition for us and if it happens will be some good development game time for Nketiah, Franca, Esse as the front three
 
Bet this was fun today . . .

Fantastic effort 👍😀

I just wondered how many sets of Monopoly they had to purchase to fill the suitcase with fake money. 💸💸💸💸

Or maybe some bitcoins 🪙🪙🪙

Maybe not the best idea now it's gone to CAS. Probably won't endear Palace to UEFA. Then again, who gives a f*** what the corrupt incompetent officials think
 
Yes he’s an absolute moron and some of the dodgy deals he seems to have going on should be a concern, looks like (if I’m right) him buying players from the Brazilian club ended up helping Lyon which then helped his Forest team get Europa, insane and sounds so corrupt. I hope you get back in the Europa, if not, I hope you win the conference.
Plus the money Textor got from selling his shares in Palace. Research the game that got Lyon into Europa, it was Strasbourg ( owned by Clearlake ie Chelsea) losing at home to relegation threatened Le Havre. The winner was a 98th minute penalty given away by a player who, was subbed on in 86th minute, got 2 yellow cards, he was on loan from….Forest and then joined Strasbourg permanently. At the time of the game, Chelsea may have only qualified for EL.
The amount of transfer dealings between Botafogo, Forest and Lyon is staggering

It all connected. Will anyone have the balls to dig into it.

Or will we be strung up over a date that we could have never been compliant by.

I'm in the same place mentally.

Regardless we still get to go to Europe. Lots of beatable teams as well and some historic teams and nice cities.
 
It doesn't leave us much time to get any transfer business done does it . You know what Palace are like it takes em forever to get a transfer done . I reckon Steve has to block all transfers out unless buyout clause is met , if we then get " awarded " a UEFA spot then buy a few quality players . When is the first date for the first match does anyone know ?
 
While technically Forest can buy and sell between Botafogo and Lyon or whomever they like, the timing of these dealings in relation to how it helped Lyon win their appeal will arouse suspicion and could well support our case decisively - we need not go over again which areas we will prioritise in our appeal, but the obvious collusion between OL and NF could well 'bear fruit' ... fruits of the forest, sorry!
Forest are in it up to their necks - they’ve been meddling and conspiring with Textor, Lyon and Botafogo..!!

As Keegan would say “I would just love it, love it” if Forest and Lyon got kicked out of Europe entirely..!!

If that comes to pass - first home game of the season will be a hot affair - if it isn’t already..!!

COYP..!!
