Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

mileend said:
We'd go to the Conference league but still a huge blow

There is some more posts on this on the Textor ownership thread with good information

My clutching at straws is that this has been foreseen and they have set up Textor's level of control (voting rights) so it falls below the level set by UEFA. That feels more likely than PSG losing out to Reims

Oh right thanks, I didn’t know that, at least that’s something, I could cope with that
 
Not sure if it helps or if the link even works but it sounds like this could be a false alarm, no cause for concern!

Why Crystal Palace fans have no reason to worry about John Textor and Lyon ruining the UEFA Europa League dream

A look at why Crystal Palace fans have no reason to worry about multi-club ownership keeping them out of the UEFA Europa League.

The biggest potential downside is that we wouldn't be able to do a deal for Rayan Cherki from Lyon if they qualify...shame if that's the case as he looks really decent.
 
UEFA’s rules state: “No individual or legal entity may have control or influence over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition, (including) holding a majority of the shareholders’ voting rights; having the right to appoint or remove a majority of the members of the administrative, management or supervisory body of the club; being a shareholder and alone controlling a majority of the shareholders’ voting rights pursuant to an agreement entered into with other shareholders of the club; or being able to exercise by any means a decisive influence in the decision-making of the club.”
None of those clauses apply to Textor, who does not have such influence at Palace.

25/6 Regulations of the UEFA Europa League - Article 5 Integrity of the competition/multi-club ownership:
5.01
To ensure the integrity of the UEFA club competitions (i.e. UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Conference League), the club must be able to prove that as at 1 March 2025 the below multi-club ownership criteria were met and the club must continue to comply with the below criteria from that date until the end of the competition season:

  1. No club participating in a UEFA club competition may, either directly or indirectly:
    1. hold or deal in the securities or shares of any other club participating in a UEFA club competition;
    2. be a member of any other club participating in a UEFA club competition;
    3. be involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration and/or sporting performance of any other club participating in a UEFA club competition; or
    4. have any power whatsoever in the management, administration and/or sporting performance of any other club participating in a UEFA club competition.
  2. No one may simultaneously be involved, either directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition.
  3. No individual or legal entity may have control or influence over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition, such control or influence being defined in this context as:
    1. holding a majority of the shareholders’ voting rights;
    2. having the right to appoint or remove a majority of the members of the administrative, management or supervisory body of the club;
    3. being a shareholder and alone controlling a majority of the shareholders’ voting rights pursuant to an agreement entered into with other shareholders of the club; or
    4. being able to exercise by any means a decisive influence in the decision-making of the club.
5.02
If two or more clubs fail to meet the criteria aimed at ensuring the integrity of the competition, only one of them may be admitted to a UEFA club competition, in accordance with the following criteria (applicable in descending order) with the exception of the scenarios set out in Paragraph 5.04 and Paragraph 5.05:

  1. the club which qualifies on sporting merit for the most prestigious UEFA club competition (i.e., in descending order: UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League);
  2. the club which was ranked highest in its domestic championship;
  3. the club whose association is ranked highest in the access list (see Annex A).
5.03
Clubs that are not admitted are replaced in accordance with Paragraph 4.10.

5.04
Exceptionally, provided that the relevant principles of Paragraph 5.01 are respected throughout, a club that was not admitted in application of Paragraph 5.02, and which is replaced in the competition in application of Paragraph 4.10, may still be admitted to another UEFA club competition (i.e. in descending order: UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League) to which the relevant national association has access, respecting the scenarios foreseen by Paragraph 5.05. The access of the respective association is adjusted accordingly.

5.05
This article is not applicable if any of the cases listed under Paragraph 5.01 happens between:

  1. a club qualifying (in accordance with Article 3) for the UEFA Champions League and entering the league phase directly and a club qualifying for the UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League (see Annex A);
  2. a club qualifying (in accordance with Article 3) for the UEFA Champions League and entering the playoffs (champions path or league path) or the third qualifying round of the league path directly or for the UEFA Europa League and entering the league phase directly and a club qualifying for the UEFA Conference League (see Annex A).

So, are we definitely going to be allowed into the Europa league. I’ve got confused (my age I guess ;-) as to what I’ve read above as to is it okay for us and Lyon to both be in the same competition?
 
A bit tongue in cheek but Knowing our luck Spurs and Man U decide to have a mass Brawl and it all kicks off tonight with running battles in the streets and......... subsequently British Clubs get banned from the Europa League. It could only happen to us 😆
 
Palace will not get their Euro place taken away. Textor has no control at Palace and is not the owner. He is only an investor with just 25% voting rights.
That alone should be enough to satisfy Uefa. If not Palace can outvote Textor and make him put some or all of his shares in a blind trust which is what UEFA do generally in these situations.

We'll be in the Europa League, 100%
