June 8 According to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Crystal Palace is facing a crisis of deprivation of qualifications from the European war, and the club proposed reasons for allowing them to participate in the competition at the UEFA meeting.
KavehSolhekol wrote on social media: "Crystal Palace will spare no effort to convince UEFA to allow them to be allowed to participate in the UEFA Cup next season. Crystal Palace is at risk of being disqualified by UEFA for violating the rules of ownership of multiple clubs. American businessman Texter owns shares in Crystal Palace and French club Lyon, both teams have qualified for the UEFA Cup, which puts Crystal Palace's qualifications at risk.
UEFA regulations prohibit clubs under the same ownership group from participating in the same event, and clubs with lower rankings in the domestic league will lose their qualifications when conflicts of interest occur. Crystal Palace ranks 12th in the Premier League, while Lyon ranks sixth in the Ligue 1.
Crystal Palace executive chairman Parrish and Texter on Tuesday Attend a meeting at the Swiss UEFA headquarters to defend the UEFA qualifying of the two clubs, Crystal Palace is believed to have made compelling reasons why they should be allowed to compete for the first time in the UEFA UEFA . The reasons are as follows.
1-Text individually owns less than 30% of Crystal Palace, and all decisions related to Crystal Palace are made by Parish and its executive team, not Text. As a minority shareholder, Text has a say, but Crystal Palace’s board structure means that Parish has the decisive voting rights and is supported by its partners Josh Harris and David Blitze.
2-Crystal Palace has won European qualifications through an exciting FA Cup victory, not through the league, they are not in the multi-club model situation.
3-Crystal Palace is a The independent South London club does not cooperate with Lyon and does not share any staff, players or resources.
4-Crystal Palace and Lyon missed the deadline for UEFA to change ownership structure on March 1, as a series of unforeseen circumstances resulted in the two teams qualifying for the UEFA Cup at the same time. Crystal Palace won the first major trophy in club history, the FA Cup, and Strasbourg conceded in the 99th minute, opening the door to the UEFA Cup, but only if Paris Saint-Germain won the French Cup and the European Cup winner was awarded the 6th team in the league.
5-Texter could not foresee the conflict in advance, and Crystal Palace is now ready to take immediate measures to comply with UEFA regulations and ensure that it can participate in the UEFA Cup. Texter also made it clear that he Looking to sell his stake in Crystal Palace, as it is an independent club that is not suitable for the Hawks Football Holdings company that he owns multiple clubs. "
KavehSolhekol added: "Crystal Palace defeated Manchester City as a dark horse in the FA Cup, which also inspired the imagination of football fans, removing it from the UEFA Cup could deprive one of the most fascinating plots of the next season. The players and fans of Crystal Palace are not at fault, and any shareholders who violate UEFA rules seem to be a technical administrative error, not intentional.
Other clubs belonging to multi-club ownership groups, such as Leipzig and Salzburg in the Champions League last season, as well as Manchester City and Girona, have also participated in the same UEFA event. Hopefully UEFA will keep common sense."
