I was going to say the same thing, perhaps they're the ones that need to let it go

Same. It is funny.
However, Drogheda has lost its appeal to CAS today, which makes things even more interesting:

Surely - surely! - they can't have one rule for one, one for another...
I think this one is a bit more clear-cut in that the same company has large holdings (80%ish) in both affected clubs.

Rather amusing that Drogheada’s owners brought Silkeborg after they’d won the Irish FA Cup, that is Palace levels of bad planning.
That’s true. Palace only break the rules by a little bit so let’s let that one go. I might try that defence with the wife. “I only got home a few hours later than I said I would. It is not like I am three days late. Sheesh. Chill out”

Oh just please, please, please make this happen.
If we replaced them it would be box office.
It would be great for our rivalry, a whole new generation of fans would properly despise each other.

If a big club like Drogheada can be kicked out, it really doesn’t bode well for small teams like palace…

"Drogheda's sitaution is similar to that being experienced by Crystal Palace, who qualified for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup in May.
It is the only time the Premier League club has qualified for European football in their 120-year history, but Uefa is set to decide whether they breached its rules on teams under one multi-club ownership structure competing in that competition.
Uefa's final ruling will centre on American businessman John Textor, owner of Eagle Football - which holds a 43% stake in Palace.
Eagle Football also owns a 77% stake in French side Lyon, who - like Palace - have qualified for next season's Europa League.
In recent seasons, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Manchester United have all been admitted into European competition despite initial concerns over multi-club ownership."
Well yeah. A few hours late, the cold shoulder for a bit. Three days - divorce?
BEN!

I knew someone who told his wife he was just nipping down the shop for the paper and went on rugby tour for 4 days.

That last paragraph sounds like it’s come straight from a Steve Parish quote. “But Sir, Man United did it and you never said anything”.
All those clubs and more have complied with the rules.
