OR Nottingham Forest sent a letter to UEFA expressing concerns about her participation Crystal Palace in the Europa League, due to the regulations of the European Federation for the Multipurpose Associations.
John Texter, an American businessman who holds 43% of the Palace, is also owned by Lyon, who has secured participation in the Europa League. The “eagle” administration has already met with UEFA officials to explain Texter’s ownership situation. Nottingham Forest may benefit if UEFA decides to exclude Crystal Palace from the Europa League.
Nottingham Forest had an excellent year and finished 7th, securing participation in the Conference League. However, it can go up in the Europa League if KR? Istal Palace is excluded due to violations of the regulations.
However, whether it will be allowed to participate in the event remains critical. UEFA had blocked Lyon in December, but allowed her to participate under conditions. It is currently being monitored by the Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) and there is a possibility of a new blockage in the event of a breach.
Palace’s shareholders, Texter and David Blitzer, seek to place their shares in a “blind trust” so that the rules can be respected and the club can compete in Europe. However, UEFA argues that this move has been delayed, as such changes must be completed before March 1 to apply next season.
It is worth noting, however, that Blitzer is also a co -owner of Brondby (Denmark), who will play in the Conference League, which further complicates the situation if Palace falls into that event.
Last year, Manchester City and Manchester United also used the Blind Trust (“Blind Trust”) tactic to comply with UEFA rules, allowing their affiliated teams (Girona and Nis) to participate in the Champions League and Europa League.
