Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

multi clubs is well and truly out of the bag and difficult to see how uefa/fifa rein that back. At some point there will Probably be a proper scandal on this as difficult to police. There will likely be someone willing to cheat

It appears we are not alone! Irish Cup winners Drogheda are to appeal to UEFA as they are due to be expelled from the Uefa Conference League under the ownership rules. Their owners, US Trivela Group, also own Danish side Silkeborg who came 7th in their league whilst Drogheda came 9th in the League of Ireland Premier Division. Their claim is that the 1st March deadline for blind trusts is too early and they received official notification too late to take action.

I always felt the outcome of this was going to be a drip feed gradual thing. Its all pointing in the right direction though and is looking correct that Textor has no control over Palace and there is no collaboration between Palace and Lyon. This means as many have said all along, Why should Textor have put his shares in a blind trust back in March when even UEFA are close to acknowledging that he has broken no rules. Especially when he has been trying to sell them.

Agreed that nothing is yet confirmed but I am probably 95% sure now that Palace will get the go ahead to compete.
Sooner thats confirmed the sooner the club can get on with signing the players that Glasner wants.

Its the 5% element. The fiasco when we got booted out last time in favour of Liverpool bares parallels. Liverpool were all over Lennart Johanson UEFA president, he was invited to open their new stand and I expect other rewards, suddenly they were back in before the season ended. Forest will be working behind the scenes to get us kicked out.

Let's not get too personal with the Forest talk. I'm on a diet. 🙂

"UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body have asked Crystal Palace to prove that US businessman John Textor does not have decisive influence at the club." (Sky news , yesterday)

That's a bit tricky, because in the science world, you cannot prove anything. You can only disprove something. It takes time for theories to be accepted, such as gravity, and Textor being a nob.
In the meantime, Textor has apparently one offer to buy some shares put to him, by a Woody Johnson. Textor might not even have to sell anything for Palace to get compliance. But even so, I hope Textor flucks off, because he just rings financial alarm bells with me.

And the perfect answer to those who think Textor is a bit embarrassing. This guy is a committed Trump supporter!
