What a productive roundabout you’ve all been on.

PALACE – Proudly Avoiding Legal And Competitive Ethics

 

[Comrade Sam]

Why would Wolves take Palaces place in Europe?

 

[Triggaaar]

So if Palace get booted out, then Wolves will play in Europe next season. Have I got that right?

I'm dying

Wolves won the League Cup. Christ, what's it like under that rock?

 

[Comrade Sam]

Wolves won the League Cup. Christ, what's it like under that rock?

Who won the Sherpa Van Trophy and will they take Forests place?

 

[jackanada]

I'm liking the direction of this thread.
If a team conducive to fish puns could have won the league cup that would have been grand.

 

[Gazwag]

What have Wolves got to do with it? How would it work out if, say, Stoke had won it?

Whatabout Cardiff though, if they qualified would that open another place for a english club and Wolves would be okay as the english extra club.

 

[Bodian]

Texted my Wolves mate. He's getting quite excited....

....and if Cardiff win the FA Cup (again) and Wrexham win the league cup - oh what fun we could have! Connah's Quay Nomads in the CL, anyone?

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Cunha and Ait Nouri will be kicking themselves now that they are going to miss European football next season!

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

Makes sense.



That makes perfect sense. So a club achieved a place in Europe based on league position, but couldn't take that place, so they drop down to a lower competition, still using their league place as their method of qualification. Makes total sense.

But that's not how Palace have qualified, so even if there wasn't an issue with them being in the Conference League (there may be), they wouldn't qualify anyway.

Yeah so it is just Europa League or bust for them. I just thought UEFA might have considered fudging it to let them into the conference but on reflection their rules wouldnt allow that regardless of the Brondby ownership.

I'm sure it's been pointed out elsewhere

But how do Redbull get around it?

When Leeds have the league wrapped up by Christmas, will they have issues?

I'm assuming they get around it by saying it's sponsorship ?

Not sure if it's been explained to you.

RB (Red Bull) Salzburg are owned by Red Bull.

RB (RasenBallsport) Leipzig follow the 50+1 rule technically, it's just that all of the "fan" shareholders are Red Bull employees. There are 21 individual shareholders who are all linked to Red Bull.

As such they're "not linked".

Do any of them have shares in Wolves?

Fosun group who own Wolves also have shares in Cirque de Soleil, surely that's against Ufa rules. Does that mean Wales get an extra spot?

The mental gymnastics required to get round it will eclipse even those on the Palace forums

 

[Eeyore]

So if Palace get kicked out then West Bromwich Albion take their place ? My understanding is that it's the highest placed league team that take priority. That would be The Hawthorns at 552 feet above sea level.

I think this may be where the confusion is arising. It's a different Albion.

Wrexham have been promoted three times on the trot. If Wales did then get an extra spot surely they'd be in the running?

Is Cirque de Soliel the bunch of clowns who own Palace, or are they a different bunch of clowns?

Kaveh Solhekol is absolutely appalling. Completely biased and misinformed on this story with pro Palace hyperbole. Yeah it's not great for their fans but the rules have been broken. What does he mean 'common sense'.

Can we all collectively complain about the weasel of a reporter to someone/something or better still, get Marinakis at Forest to make 'representations' to Sky Sports.

Completely bias? Name one of his following justifications for Palace's inclusion that is not applicable to the charge of missing the 1st March deadline?

1. Not done on purpose.
2. Simple, administrative, technical error.
3. Palace can fix it as soon as possible.
4. Palace will do whatever UEFA requires to solve the problem.
5. Textor and Parish made a very compelling case to UEFA in last Tuesday's meeting as to why Palace should play in next season's Europa League.
6. EVERYONE in football knows that Parish runs Palace, not Textor.
7. Palace EARNED their place in the Europa Cup by beating Man City in THRILLING fashion.
8. Palace are absolutely not part of a multi-club ownership group.
9. Palace are an INDEPENDENT south London club.
10. They don't share any resources or staff with Lyon.
11. John Textor couldn't have foreseen this happening.
12. John Textor is actually trying to sell his shares in Palace.
13. Chrystal Palace fans WON'T TAKE IT LYING DOWN if they are thrown out of the Europa League in what would be an absolutely outrageous decision.
14. Palace fans and players have done nothing wrong.
15. If Real Madrid or other bigs clubs made this 'technical error' they'd be allowed to play in the competition.
16. Palace have a very good chance of actually winning the Europa League.
17. The competition would be deprived of the amazing opportunity of having Palace participate.
18. Common sense must prevail at UEFA and they have to sort this out.
19. A big blow for Palace, English football and the Europa League if Palace are kicked out.
20. He met a Palace fan whose 84 year old Dad wants to go to 'one European away game'......'that's all he wants to do in life'.
21. If the ruling goes against Palace, they WON'T TAKE IT LYING DOWN. The hope is that English Football backs them. They've GOT TO BE IN the Europa League.
