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

Not sure tbh.
The point is, that in my example, Wolves would have qualified and couldn't be kicked out, and in the actual fact for this year, Brighton would have qualified (by virtue of finishing 8th) and shouldn't be kicked out. It's Newcastle's Conference League place, and they're not taking it, so it goes to the next place in the league. That's us. If, after losing their Europa League place, Palace were given a Conference place, that should be in addition, it shouldn't replace another team who has it.

His article on the Sky website reads like a CPFC press release. One defence he put forward was 'Everyone in football knows Steve Parrish runs the club'.
A pathetic excuse of a 'journalist'.
Wolves was a random team used as an example to help slow people understand that they couldn't have their place taken away. I may have overestimated my audience.
Yeah, but, why Wolves?!

So what you're saying is, Wolves
Because introducing random, non relevant teams in a difficult to follow thread seemed to be a good idea.
That's Steve Parrish level metrics
Well I started with Brentford, and then I thought that would annoy Tony, so I switched to Bournemouth. Then I thought nah, f*** off Bournemouth you plucky ****s, and decided to give the League Cup to Wolves. This week I have nothing against Wolves.

My understanding is that then Wolves would take the conference spot and Palace miss out completely.
"...may still be admitted to another UEFA club competition (i.e. in descending order: UEFA Europa League or UEFA Conference League) to which the relevant national association has access..."
To me that suggests it only applies to clubs that have qualified for Champions League or Europa through their league placement and if there is a lower competition spot available (again based on league position) then they can be entered into that instead.
So if this season Chelsea had failed the MCO check (because Toad Boehly also owned Marseille or something) they could be dropped to the Europe League just fine (and Villa promoted of course). But if Wolves had won the league cup (so no Conf League for 7th placed in the league) and Villa (6th in the league) had failed the MCO then Villa would miss out completely, not get a bonus conference spot.
But that is just my interpretation, they really haven't made those rules (ahem) crystal clear have they?
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.

First Wolves. Now slow people. What gives? Where does this leave Rotherham?

So if Palace get booted out, then Wolves will play in Europe next season. Have I got that right?
Wolves deserve it more than the multi-club cheats, yes.
