Palace Fret over Europa Demotion, Transfers Ahead of Community Shield

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, AUG 8 – Crystal Palace challenges UEFA's demotion linked to shareholder John Textor's dual club stakes, citing missed communications and deadline inconsistencies in multi-club ownership rules.

  • Crystal Palace's chairman Steve Parish and legal team presented their appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport to restore their place in UEFA's Europa League, which was revoked on July 11 due to ownership issues involving John Textor and Lyon.
  • Oliver Glasner expressed that the demotion feels like a punishment despite claiming innocence, emphasizing the need for clarity on their European competition status ahead of the upcoming campaign against Liverpool in the Community Shield.
  • Palace believes their legal argument is strong, particularly regarding the deadline they reportedly missed and how it was communicated differently to other clubs, according to their statements in court.
  • If Palace's appeal is successful, Nottingham Forest will be affected, and the decision will be announced before the Conference League play-offs.
