It would be truly bizarre if UEFA didn’t ask for more information!! Surely that must have been one of the follow-up actions from the meeting a few weeks ago?

I’m not sure how that is a boost to their hopes, to be honest. By asking for further information several weeks later, says to me UEFA are having doubts.

Is it done yet? Can we move on with our summer?

A PL side will compete in the EL whether it be Palace or Forest!

Yes, but hopefully you get the broader point!

Or that they are still looking for ways to let them in?

How is asking for more information a 'boost'? A few days ago, Palace fans thought they were in the clear.

I do think they'll get in, although the Drogheda expulsion does set a precedent and UEFA wouldn't want to be seen as acting discriminatly.

I guess it means that UEFA haven't definitely decided not to let them in and are still discussing it. Which is a 'boost' if you are starting from the point of 'no'.

The CAS hearing (tomorrow?) on the Drogheda case may have a say on their final decision?

Let's face it. UEFA are going to let them in. Probably no such luck for Drogheda - small and impecunious enough for UEFA to bully.

This is probably why UEFA are holding off announcing a palace decision. They don't want to give Drogheda the chance to ask awkward questions at CAS like "why are we out and palace aren't?"

Tbf, If Drogheda are banned and Palace aren’t, that will give Forest the chance to ask awkward questions too!
