Crystal Palace Set to Land Nottingham Forest Blow Thanks to £7bn Tycoon

John Textor, owner of a 43 percent stake in Crystal Palace and majority owner of Lyon, is prepared to sell his shares to resolve UEFA's multi-club ownership issue.
The sale follows UEFA's warning that Palace could be excluded from the Europa League due to rules barring clubs with common ownership in the same tournament.
Textor and Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish recently held discussions with UEFA, aiming to demonstrate that Textor’s limited voting rights do not constitute control, while bids from Woody Johnson and a group including Jimmy Butler are ongoing.
Textor values his stake above the offered £170 million, though insiders expect a sale by June 27 will secure Palace's European participation and avoid legal challenges from Nottingham Forest.
If resolved by a sale, Palace would remain in Europe next season, while UEFA's ruling later this month and potential Court of Arbitration involvement could delay final confirmation.
