Hello everyone,
I think it’s about time we all sent a strong worded email to the people in charge at UEFA. Me and my friends have sent the same email tonight and I strongly recommend we all do the same. Feel free to copy and paste and email those in charge up at the “top” and show them who palace is all about!
Subject: OUTRAGEOUS Injustice – Crystal Palace Relegation Due to Multi-Club Ownership
To: complaints@uefa.com

Dear UEFA,
I am writing this email as a deeply concerned and thoroughly appalled football supporter who is absolutely SHOCKED and DISGUSTED by your decision regarding the relegation of Crystal Palace from European competition over so-called "multi-club ownership" concerns. I simply CANNOT comprehend how this could possibly be allowed to happen in 2025 when, for YEARS, other clubs under shared ownership have participated in UEFA competitions with little more than a raised eyebrow.
Let me be very clear: this reeks of hypocrisy.
Let’s take a little walk down memory lane, shall we?
RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg — both owned by Red Bull GmbH — were allowed to simultaneously compete in the UEFA Champions League AND Europa League in multiple seasons, including 2017–18, after some minor “cosmetic” changes that anyone with eyes could see were laughably superficial.
Manchester City and Girona FC — both under the City Football Group umbrella — were never prevented from participating in UEFA competitions when qualified. So, what changed now?
AC Milan and Toulouse FC, both linked to RedBird Capital Partners, were both allowed to compete in 2023–24 UEFA competitions after your "investigation" magically cleared them just in time.
So please, explain to me like I’m five: Why is Crystal Palace being punished now? Is it because we’re not “fashionable” enough? Because our owners don’t throw enough glamorous parties or invite UEFA execs to yacht galas in Monaco?
You are setting a dangerous precedent that not only undermines the integrity of competition but also spits in the face of fair treatment and consistency. If the rules are “clear,” why are they only enforced selectively?
Frankly, the message UEFA is sending is this: if you're not part of the elite club with deep ties and deeper pockets, you're expendable.
Well, we won’t stand for it.
I demand:
A full and transparent explanation of the criteria and process used in making this decision.
A review of this decision with immediate effect.
Equal application of ownership rules to all clubs — not just the ones who don’t fit the brand narrative.
Until then, I will be taking this issue to every available media outlet, fan group, and public forum. Don’t underestimate the voice of outraged supporters — we’re loud, we’re organized, and we’re not going away.
I expect a prompt and public response.
Unapologetically yours,
