UEFA delay ruling on Crystal Palace Europa eligibilty
UEFA has postponed a decision on whether or not to admit Crystal Palace into next season's Europa League. Palace thought they had secured a place in Europe's second-tier club competition thanks to their FA Cup final win over Manchester City in May but uncertainty arose as to whether they would be allowed to enter due to UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. Outgoing Palace shareholder John Textor has an interest in French club Lyon, who qualified for the same competition. UEFA announced on Monday it needed more time to make a ruling and said Lyon had reached a settlement which would exclude them from European competition next season if a decision to relegate them to the French second tier was upheld. That relegation is the subject of an appeal by the French club. The delay on the Palace decision comes after UEFA confirmed the exclusion of Drogheda United from the Conference League due to a conflict with the multi-club ownership rules, with the club's owners the Trivela Group also owning Danish side Silkeborg who will enter the competition. In a statement, UEFA reiterated Drogheda's exclusion from the competition along with that of Slovakian team Dunajska Streda, who have the same owners as Hungarian side Gyori ETO, who will compete in the Conference League.
