Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

[Wisbech Eagle]

CAS will follow the evidence not the power , other wise they bring there self into disrepute , and open to challenge

Correct. They are arbitrators seeking to find a fair and equitable solution to a dispute. One in which a set of rules, and they way they have been interpreted, will both be analysed. They won’t just say because UEFA wrote them only they can decide on their application.

Maybe leaked by a "disgruntled employee" at the City Ground.

Someone not in on the bribes because it won't be a leak through honour. They don't employ people like that.

Definitely not one to be caught up in cousin Wayne’s world!

BTW I hear Wayne now has an excellent knowledge of the NSDAP!

He’s doing so well, if you place a photo of Eva Braun and Blondi next to each other he can identify them every time!

It's a start but distinguishing a German lady from a New Wave band hardly makes him A.J.P.Taylor.

He was about to raise his arm and question whether it really was a photo of Debbie Harry, but thought better of it!

This is an interesting point because a lot of this thread has assumed the burden of proof is with Palace. I don't know either way, but it would make sense that UEFA should have to prove we violated the rules.

On appeal burden of proof shifts to the appellant.

UEFA applied wrong rules or right rules wrongly.

A party properly advised will not submit an appeal unless they believed the merits were with them.

In our case, Textor did not, as a fact have decisive control of our club. Appeal wins. Whatever interest he had at Lyon and whatever is happening at Forest is neither here nor there.

 

[Badger11]

Some have posted that Lyon and or Forest may get sanction by CAS. I don't think that will happen.

CAS may criticise them but it is up to UEFA to decide punishment.

Best case for us is that we win and CAS slag off UEFA and Forest and Lyon.

 

[Dogburger]

Regardless of the outcome I think UEFA has jumped the gun . We had to wait for the Lyon appeal process to play out before UEFA made a decision on their status as a competing club . The same courtesy should have been given to us . All they had to do was suggest we would be demoted to the conference subject to appeal not go charging in , demote us and install another club in our place .

What could have been a simple you're in or out now has the added influence of a third party .Its a mess of Uefa's own making .

I have no idea how this is going to pan out but if it comes down to weight of evidence I think it’s advantage us, if it’s evidence of weight it’s advantage Forest

Marinakis definitely has a weight advantage over Parish

Some might say it's a disadvantage given the plastic nature of seats in football stadia.

That’s why you never see Marinakis sitting down!

Can someone please explain to me, how can we join the Conference league when one of our owners owns Brondy? Sorry is this has been explained elsewhere. Many thanks

Its because he owns less than 30 percent of Brondby.

Good question. Apparently, despite Blitzer having the same percentage of voting shares as Textor, UEFA’s rules are as elastic as a bungee cord, when it suits them!

You took the words right out of Marinakis' tailors mouth.

Blitzer owns, through Global Football Holdings, 50.1% of Brøndby.
