Crystal Palace is optimistic about their chances of playing in the next season's Europa League, even if they face competition for the spot from Lyon, given potential conflict stemming from shared ownership by John Textor, who owns 45% of Palace through Eagle Football Holdings. UEFA’s regulations disallow a single individual from exercising control over multiple clubs in the same competition, hence the uproar. However, they plan to argue that their ownership structure ensures compliance, as Eagle Football does not have decisive influence in club decisions. UEFA’s investigation is expected to conclude by early June.
Crystal Palace is prepared to defend itself against UEFA regulations that could bar it from the Europa League if Lyon qualifies due to John Textor’s ownership stake.
Despite concerns regarding the conflict of interests due to multi-club ownership, Crystal Palace is confident about their participation in the next season's Europa League.
