He'd also presumably have to decide whether he wants to sell his shares in Palace or Lyon.
His stake in Lyon is 88% and £700m, with Palace it's 43% and c. £250m. Lyon $500m+ in debt, not in Champions League, likely to have to sell top players, so not an attractive proposition unless he's prepared to lose many millions.

I’ll genuinely feel so sorry for their fans if they miss out… but Palace having to give their European adventure to Brighton would be the most hilarious thing I’ve witnessed.
This is how I feel.

After The Grauniad article today, it’s the first time I’ve genuinely thought they might be kicked out.

Which means I’m sure it will now be sorted tomorrow!

They are toast. Just shambolic from them. Hilarious
There will be a song sung about this for 100+ years if it happens!

However, they are just so incredibly spawny! I can still not look past them getting a similar punishment to the one their keeper received for a blatant hand ball outside his area denying a clear goal scoring chance.

No idea where this June that is coming from. Forest draw is 4th August, that’s the deadline.

Still quite some time to find someone to buy his share and I doubt he’s going to take a discounted offer purely so palace can lose a few games in Europe and earn £15m.

Or Ron Callis disallowing two legitimate Brighton goals in the FA Cup first round (second replay) in 1976!

The latest I have heard is that Parish is getting Wayne Hennessy in to defend Palace and Textor.
If he could get away with his Seig Heil salute because he didn’t know what one was, this UEFA accusation will be a piece of piss to beat.

Palace will probably be fast tracked to the Champions League knockout stage.
