Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

there's a few links on newsnow which say these ownership clashes have happened before but UEFA are lenient as long as the owner doesn't hold a majority at each club and the two clubs don't trade players in that season so I think the threat is exaggerated to generate a bit of online traffic
 
Well, good motivation for Textor to f*** off as soon as possible then isn't it! As usual, Steve Parish completely bang on in his distrust for group ownership.

I think we'll be alright, feel like it's minor enough that we'll find a way round it. If not, hopefully the year of the underdog continues and Reims beat PSG or Lyon get banned from Europe.

From the sounds of it we were stitched up for European qualification in the early 90s, surely not again.
We were! Liverpool got our spot in the European Cup sun - instead of us -as UEFA decided then to readmit Pool who had been banned from Europe due to crowd trouble - and several deaths- at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, at the European cup final against Juventus.
 
Seems to be a storm in a teacup in our case but I assume the Club will check the issue. I remember that RB Salzburg and RB Leipzig both entered the CL some years ago at a time when Salzburg were more or less used as Leipzig's academy. UEFA had an investigation during summer and the clubs had to change a few things before being allowed to enter the CL at the start of the next season. Don't ask me about details but their ties were initially much stronger than ours with Lyon regarding ownership, exchange of players (usually a few during transfer windows between Salzburg and Leipzig), using common facilities and so on.

Several?

THIRTY NINE!!!

Steve Browett was there, he told me when I chatted to him once. He was 18, said it was obviously coming, the place was chaos from the outset

39 dead and 600 injured. But Hillsborough is all that gets talked about over here
 
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%
The Forest chairman did this earlier in the season as UEFA like it done well ahead of time. It may be too late for that tactic but I think the voting % should see them rule in our favour. Might need a bit of grease, though

In fairness they should never have been banned. Knee jerk reaction to a catastrophe.

Still fecked off we missed the spot though. Our future could have been very different.
