Yes which is why Tony reduced his stake and control at USG to comply with the rules

Yes, but we future proofed ourselves from it.
As Forest did.
Seems CPFC2010 didn’t think ahead.
I’m sure UEFA won’t ban then. But the thought is hilarious.

Their FA Cup must surely be awarded to Lyon as well.

It’s the only way.
Just went on their board (not Lyon) loads of their fans wetting themselves over it.

I am going to work on the thought that we won't get a place, and then it will be fantastic if we do.
In the meantime, come on PSG, Forest, etc etc

What's different between the palace situation and forests?
The article says the deadline for change was March the 1st but didn't the first owner only change his role/ownership a couple of weeks ago?
It would be almost worth palace winning the fa cup if it meant they ended up being banned from Europe while we qualified. Especially if their lost place went to the next highest placed premier league team...

Forest were proactive. Palace were not.

The Nottingham Forest owner, Evangelos Marinakis, will not have a controlling interest in the club next season in order to comply with multi-club ownership regulations

Yes but the original article said that the deadline for ownership change was March 1st. The guardian article about marianakis is April 30th, presumably he missed the deadline?Forest were proactive. Palace were not.

If he did why is it okfor them but not for palace?

A lot of people including the Newcastle score in their calculations. What Newcastle do is completely IRRELEVANT.
Aside from Man City being deducted points and Palace being barred
)), there are two scenarios whereby 8th gets Conference League (providing Chelsea beat Betis):
Chelsea finish 7th
Newcastle finish 7th and Chelsea 6th.
So even if Everton win by a much larger margin than Forest, and Newcastle finish below Chelsea on G/D, 8th could still qualify.

To be fair, would Palace have seriously thought they would be getting into Europe back in February?
Sound like a lot of hassle to make all those changes behind the scenes.

Either way it must be an absolute nightmare for their owners.
Article is dated April 30th. But that is irrelevant. What is relevant (and not mentioned in the article) is when the paperwork for the ownership change was submitted. Given the way the article is worded, I would assume the paperwork was in ahead of deadline and then only came to light later on (it takes time for things like this to filter through to the public domain).
