See it from their point of view, why not just let it play out? The french FA and Lyon will need their dispute settling quickly too. Its July now.
Fair points. It just seems though from what is being reported that if Lyon win their appeal Palace are kicked out EL but if Lyon lose their appeal, Palace will stay in EL. So the latter infers they would get away in that scenario with braking the rules.
They won't have broken the rules though will they as Textor won't have control over two clubs in the competition? Unless you consider the rule to be that no owner shall have a controlling influence over two clubs 'at the point in which they qualified' to play in Europe, not 'who will actually be competing in the tournament'.
That's the question. At the time of UEFA's deadline of March 1st they *had* broken the rules.
Yep. I'm no lawyer, but I reckon a court would determine that the significant issue at hand is who will actually be playing in the tournament, not who was breaking the rules at some arbitrary point in time, months before a ball is kicked.
By delaying I also think that UEFA are trying to give Palace as much chance as possible to enable them to compete, rather then kicking them out now, which I think is the right thing to do. Yes, we're affected to a certain degree, but that's the right thing to do really.
Thing is you can only interpret so much as a lawyer, ultimately the rules (laws) are made if if a deadline is missed, its only mitigation to say we didnt expect to be playing etc. Ultimately the sanction is set by precedent, lowest ranked club loses out.
Similar to the Johnson thing, the spirit of the rules should dictate the club holding out for the higher price but the letter of the law so to speak was the deadline.
A kind of real-life example would be if you drove a vehicle whilst disqualified despite having no knowledge of having been disqualified cos you were not at court or didnt get letters etc. Obviously you'd say, well its not my fault but letter of the law means you have to plead guilty as you drove and you were disqualified.

SR the difference is we came under the PL rules while Palace under UEFA so you can not conflate the two issues!

I realise they're different governing bodies but it's the principle I'm talking about.

The rules were broken because a deadline was missed no matter which body it was.

Palace considering legal action.
Interesting that they think UEFA is giving Lyon time to sort themselves out while we think UEFA is doing the same for Palace.

Should we be buying a load of Lyon players to allow them to won the appeal and therefore secure our spot in the Europa League?!
(Sounds like we might have already tried)

Marinakis had clearly been trying to get money into Textor via player purchases.

Em could have offered him a delayed payment deal on Danillo. Buy now pay later, versus cash up front for the Brazilian players.
