Crystal Palace: Why are Nottingham Forest set to replace them in Europa League?

There are two important points to consider when trying to understand how the Palace lost its places in the Europa League.

The first is that John Textor, who has a share in the Palace and Lyon, does not have a decisive control in the Selurst Park.

In his relations with UEFA, the palace insisted that Textor’s company – Eagle Football Holdings – 43% of shares, although it had no significant impact on the club.

Textor, who spoke to Talksport at the beginning of this week, said, “I have no decisive effect. I don’t do it and I didn’t.” He said.

Textor is in the center of the case. UEFA thought that next season could not play in the Europa League due to the partial ownership of Lyon and the palace. And so as they rise in the French club leagues, they take part.

Another important point to consider is that Palace misses UEFA’s March 1 date to change its ownership structures to ensure that the administrative body complies with the rules of multiple clinical ownership.

In essence, that’s why the South London club is in this prediction.

The forest also missed the interruption, but they showed UEFA in the process of following the rules. For them, Evangelos Marinakis was the owner of Olympiakos, who was ready to participate in the Champions League next season. Thus, Marinakis made the forest shares into a blind confidence and stopped being a “person with important control” of the company owner of the club. In the end, Olympiakos was qualified, did not make Forest.

If the palace had convinced UEFA that Textor had no decisive control, the date of March 1 would be indifferent.

However, UEFA did not accept Palace’s argument – and the last date has become the collapse of the club.
