Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

[ex hibitionist]

Honestly, do we have the squad for Europe? No.

Do we want to go to the next level and get a squad for Europe but go no where with it, then have a sloppy season?

Maybe it's just being palace, but I'd rather us build on last season and push for the two domestic cups and top 10 finish.

Yeah, Europe is ok for the fans, but what if we get dog s*** teams, then knocked out by first real good team.. then what have we learnt? I dunno, too many variables for me.

we've got six midfielders (we play with two) , four wingers and two strikers (we play with one), to have two first XIs we only need three versatile defenders and we could cope.

Exactly. I expect us to do well. Prioritise the PL and enjoy everything else. It’s time for Nketiah, Devenny, Esse and Franca to step up.

You haven't really answered my questions, but let's see if I understand you correctly.

You think that Textor should have sought legal advice. To what end ? He has publicly stated his desire to sell his shareholding for some time now. Which he didn't do. Why ? - it's fair to assume that either he was asking too much or potential buyers ( ironically ) would have wanted more control over the club than he has had.
So, we began last season winless for the first 8 games and in the bottom 3 in the League. European qualification via a league position highly unlikely. That leaves the Carabao and FA cups as potential routes. Are you suggesting that Textor should have placed his shares into a Blind Trust well in advance of the 1/3/25 deadline ? Because that was the only solution available if he couldn't sell his shares. So I contend that progression in the cup is of relevance.

Highlighted Para 1 - You have NO evidence of disciplinary action do you ? You are interpreting events without any base for your statements '' strongly indicates '' is your opinion, nothing more.
Highlighted Para 2 - How do you know that the argument wasn't accepted ? The meeting in Nyon was to enable Palace to put their case forward. UEFA then stated they needed until end of June to consider and will pass judgement then. So from my perspective they neither accepted or rejected Palace's position.
Highlighted Para 3 - It comes back to the same question. What was Textor meant to do and when ?? really interested to hear your thoughts.
Highlighted Para 4 - Asking for clarification is not interfering if indeed that's all they did.

Fair enough for standing by your 2nd consolation point - but bear in my that Glasner's mentality is of a highly competitive nature. Oh, and he's won the Europa League previously. I doubt he would agree with you.

UEFA's laws, rules and guidelines have not been set up to catch out football directors and chairmen. They have their own internal logic and purpose. There is a constant flow of information from UEFA to professional football clubs. If Textor had acted in accordance with UEFA's MCO rules (and the March deadline date) Palace would not be in this situation. However, he felt that there was no need to put his shares into a blind trust, but clearly there was. He might not agree with it, but that was what he should have done. But, at the very least, he should have requested that the ECA act as an intermediary in order to establish clarification about UEFA's MCO rules regarding Palace's distribution of shares and its voting rights. But he chose not to use the ECA for the very purpose that it was established.

You ask me when should Textor have put his Palace shares into a blind trust? Given UEFA's misgivings about MCO, and the heightened risks involved for multi-club owners, it should have been set up before the March deadline date, which was a clear statement of intent by UEFA that they are now hardening their stance on this matter.

Everything I write is merely an opinion. You are perfectly at liberty to agree with it or disagree with it. If what you state is the correct assessment of the situation, then so be it - and well done to you for being so astute; but I stand by my own opinion ... and until the full facts are established, I shall continue to do so.

However, I think there is one thing that we can agree on, and that is if Textor's 43% share had also meant he had 43% of the voting rights Palace would probably now be laden with a huge amount of debt.
