Which would be reasonable given the owner had actively complied with the rules.

If it all does come to pass, it’s not us who is taking their place, it’s Forest.
We just take Forests place.

It's interesting. Reading that article, it seems like there's almost no avenue available for Palace to compete in Europe this season, and yet I'm 100% convinced that they'll find a way
Crystal Palace’s Europa League place in doubt after Uefa rejects owners’ blind trust move
Uefa has rejected offers from Palace co-owners John Textor and David Blitzer to put their shares in a blind trust so the club can compete in Europe next seasonwww.theguardian.com
Bye bye Nigel
He'll only do this if it means UEFA keep Palace in the Europa.
There seems to be some doubt that he has the time to sell and that UEFA would have the time to study the details of the deal.
That said, I'm still in your camp that they'll play in the Europa, it's narrative of them doing so that I'm struggling a bit with.
What I like about that is that it's literally all made up.
"Why are you angry?"
"I made up the fact that Bloom is orchestrating this against us."
"Why did you do that?"
"Because he's a weirdo and I need someone to blame!"
"Yeah, but you just made that up. Isn't this Textor's fault?"
"So? Bloom is a weirdo! It just makes me so angry!"
The trend of NSCers posting without reading previous posts is definitely getting worse, isn’t it? Many folk aren’t even skimming messsges from a few hours before.
Ooooh, just seen this…?!

Anyone else puzzled about how long this is dragging out, when some very confident folk from Croydon were telling this was a complete non-story?

Listen to me!!!
Palace will find a way. They have history of cheating.

And Denmark '92?
I wouldn't worry about that. We've got the squad to cope with the teams we'd face for most of this seemingly unlikely campaign. In fact, it could help getting players like Enciso to sign contract extensions as we'd be able to guarantee a lot more game time.
We wouldn't be playing a team we've heard of until about March next year. That could be when our best players join in.

Apparently Denmark qualified for the 1992 Euros at someone else's expense and won it
What! It wasn’t Greece in 2004?
Precisely where I am.
Yes I was going to say something similar, I feel if this was an easy “they’re in” then it would be done and dusted by now. The fact it’s dragging out suggests something’s up.
They need to pull their finger out and get it done, there are three clubs (Palace, Forest and us) with skin in the game.

Don't wait for me!
Maybe Textor just hasn't offered the right people at EUFA the right amount of money in a brown bag yet.
It'll come. Surely.

I’m not puzzled about the length of time to get a decision - (they only qualified against most expectations a few weeks ago - so I suppose a blink of an eye in UEFA time zone - it’s not like they’ve been in the top 6/7 for months.)
Like the City case, can’t see much happening before the 17th June qualifying draws so both Clubs may avoid sanctions in time for next season.
But - I am puzzled why Palace fans continue to think the rules on multi-club ownership apply to everyone except themselves?
They can’t be that thick in Croydon, Shirly?
