As much as they're being criticised, aren't UEFA here just trying to give Palace as much of an opportunity as they can to enter the Europa League?
If Lyon don't qualify, because they've been relegated, then the problem goes away and Palace are in the clear as the question of multi club ownership isn't there any more. The whole issue about them/him missing the deadline is a mute point, a none entity as there isn't a conflict between two clubs in the competition.
Palace can slag UEFA off but in my view they're trying to find ways not to ban them.
