UEFA has rejected a bid to transfer shares in other clubs to an agent to pave the way for Crystal Palace ‘s joint-owner to play in Europe. After the deadline passed.
Previously, the owners of Manchester City and Manchester United transferred their shares in Girona. And Nice to independent administrators in a “blind trust” to pave the way for them to play in the same competition, which UEFA approved.
John Texter, Palace’s largest shareholder and the majority owner of Lyon, both Europa League-qualifying clubs, hopes to follow suit.
However, UEFA rules clearly state that such a change of ownership must take place before March 1.
The Crystal Palace did not do so, as the team is stuck in the middle of the table. And is not expected to win the FA Cup or Europa League tickets
in the middle of last week. A group of shareholders led by Texter entered talks with UEFA. But The Guardian reported in a recent report that they had been rejected.
In addition to the Lyon relationship, another shareholder, เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย David Blitzer, also owns Danish side Brondby, which plays in the Conference League.
That means Palace may not participate in any European competition next season. And the rights will fall to local rivals Brighton.
UEFA declined to comment, but insiders stressed that their organisation wants. The rules on multi-club ownership to be enforced consistently.
