[Football] If Palace can't play in the Europa League

[sparkie]

Palace either broke the rules or they didn't.

Wait and see on that.

If they actually did break the rules then the penalty could be hilarious and legendary.

 

[Lurchy]

He has no voting rights at Hearts or USG but the ‘farming’ bit could still well apply to us.

I’m aware.

The point I was making was in relation to multi club ownership and ‘farming’.

 

[nickbrighton]

If two years ago, TB hadn't reduced his shares and changed the ownership structure in USG, would Palace fans have said that we should be allowed to play? Especially IF they were in line to take our European place?

That's correct. However they wouldn't have had any interest other than our own discomfort as there's no way they are anywhere near European places. Ha!

.....................and only what, a 10% share in Hearts?

29%

 

[Flounce]

I fear “hope” is ramping up with Albion fans.

It.won’t.happen

 

[GT49er]

29%

Fair enough, didn't know it was that much. 29% is within the acceptable limits, I presume.

Very deliberately below the 30% threshold

Is there a livestream of the meeting?

(Asking for a friend... I'm not really that bothered whether Palace might lose their first ever chance of Europe and this result in us getting to go ourselves. I agree with the people saying that, whilst they understand the so-called "rivalry", on this occasion they genuinely wish Palace and their fans all the best.)

Is there anyone going to be anyone actively trying to prevent palace from qualifying, i.e. palace shouldn't qualify because they don't meet the requirements, but we do so we should?

"On the one hand, it feels emotionally instinctive to root for Palace. On the other, it’s hard not to look at UEFA and their rules and wonder: If not now, then when?"

Palace face uphill task in UEFA case but can take hope, IAN LADYMAN

IAN LADYMAN: Sir Jim Ratcliffe of Manchester United has been through the multi-club ownership tangle with UEFA before and come out of the other side in one piece.

"If Palace are to be the ones finally stuck fast then it’s hard not to feel a little sympathy."

It would obviously be very hard, but you know, I think I'd manage it.

"If they are now to be denied entry into this particular European competition, then it’s perfectly OK to feel regretful about it, especially given the way other bigger and maybe slightly smarter English clubs have escaped such sanction."

By 'slightly smarter' does the author mean 'Can spell their own name?'

Of course UEFA will roll over, but it's pleasing to see that winning a trophy hasn't changed them. They will always be the clown show we know and love to hate.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I really don't like the idea of getting into Europe on a technicality but, if it were to happen

I'd still be laughing as we kicked off next season

 

[Arkwright]

I'm a bit late to the party, if Palace or whoever can't get the correct paperwork in place and in time and have breached the rules they should be punished.
At all levels clubs have broken rules and been penalised, look at the Jersey, Redhill and Whyteleafe fiasco with club's fielding suspended players, the league made the right decision hitting the club's who had broken the rules. Harsh but if it's the rules that's it.
It is what it is!

Forest to the Europa League, Palarse to the Conference perhaps?

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Way to understand another view of things

Sorry, it was a little harsh! Haha but it was in slight jest.

It made me laugh, mainly because it was so harsh. ,

But another Palace shareholder has shares in Bronby who are a qualifier away from the Conference League.

Just don’t get this pandering to them recently, it’s sickening.

They cant go to the confrence due to Brondby who finished 3rd in Denmark being owned by the same group
