John Textor Makes Crystal Palace Admission as Forest Await Europa League Call
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 10 – UEFA's decision will determine Crystal Palace's eligibility for the Europa League amid Textor's dual club ownership, with potential demotion to the Conference League, officials said.
- As UEFA's deadline nears, a decision on Crystal Palace’s Europa League eligibility hinges on John Textor’s dual stakes in Lyon and Palace, risking their European qualification.
- John Textor's ownership of 90% of Lyon and 43% of Crystal Palace as of March 1 triggered UEFA's multi-club ownership rules, leading to scrutiny over potential conflicts.
- UEFA rules bar clubs with over 30% ownership overlap in the same competition; Lyon’s higher league finish gives them priority over Palace's Europa League spot.
- UEFA's decision could strip Palace of Europa League qualification, with Nottingham Forest set to replace them and Palace facing possible demotion to the Conference League.
- UEFA's decision is imminent, with Palace's future in Europe hinging on Textor's sale to Woody Johnson and ongoing legal challenges amid multi-club ownership rules.
