Brighton's European Dreams

My point was/is, that Textor does not have a controlling interest in Palace. He does however, have one at Lyon. I think they are more at risk than we are. Just my opinion.

Respectfully, I'm not sure an opinion counts here. The powers that be assess final league position and something called a co-efficient where their pile is much bigger than ours. If Textor ticks all the boxes for both clubs, we must be the team booted down under those rules.

I don't think it will come to that but the risk remains and I suspect feverish activity somewhere. But not in the said corridors of power. They will nonchalantly demote a no-name club like ours with the casual stroke of a pen.

I have no argument with what you're saying & i agree. again, my point being is that Textor doesn't tick all the boxes for both clubs, well, he does for Lyon, but not for Palace. As you say, we'll find out soon enough, when UEFA finally gets their arse in gear.

i had figured that tonights Europa Conference final , with Chelscum, mattered to Brighton. It did figure in all the hypotheticals a week ago. Just googled it again - outcomes have changed. No matter what outcome tonight, the Seaweed will not be packing their suitcases and visiting southern climes.

And a question, did our FA cup victory help knock Brighton out of Europe ? Brighton-Brexit, Brightsh1.t Birdsh1.t.

To favour french club Lyon ? french officials at UEFA........they all got lots of previous dodgy form. Its like having Lance Armstrong mixing the cocktails at a speed-dating event.
you can call me paranoid, but i fear waking up with my palace Y-fronts on my head and with a sore gusset and Sepp Blatter telling me it was my imagination that we won the FA cup.
 
This question does not warm me to Textor and multi club ownership.
However, seems other clubs have had the same and sorted it. Even ones with basically the same ownership. Although there's always the Balotelli in me saying "why always us?".

Unfortunately assuming there is a conflict of interests it is not the percentage control but where we both finished in our respective leagues.

As we finished 12th and Lyon 6th it will be us who get downgraded.

Don’t think it come to that though!

Would it be worth asking UEFA to consider league size? 12th in a 20 team league compared to 6th in an 8 team league? Not sure about size of French League.
