Champions League - Europa League - Conference League

Despite all the evidence to the contrary I'm still not counting my chickens on this and wouldn't be surprised one bit if CAS come up with some convoluted way of readmitting Palace.

There's nothing to suggest that should or will happen but it'd be sod's law that it will.

You've been passing too many ships!  :Funny:

(I agree think it's probably about 70-30 in our favour if I was placing odds, based on absolutely no knowledge)

Surely it gets done before the draw, otherwise do we watch that to see who we might get?!

It should be sorted by then, I think it has to be done within 10 days of appeal submission.

I always thought it might get pushed back. Whats the signifiance of a draw? Its the game dates that matter and even they could theoretically be pushed back behind the other ties played.

So looks as though Palace have turned their appeal into some kind of tripartite action against not only UEFA but us and Lyon too. It means we're in a three way legal shootout now, rather than being an innocent bystander waiting for a result.

I just took it that they named us because we were the beneficiary of them being demoted rather than anything else. 

Though with mardy arse Parish who knows?

From Stephan Borson on twitter: Interesting framing here. This looks as if Palace have dragged Forest and OL into the case formally as second and third respondents alongside UEFA. If so, it seems to complicate matters and gives NF and OL the opportunity to make submissions that could potentially undermine CPs case. Surprising legal move.

Other option would simply have gone for annulment of the CFCB decision and left it open for CAS to decide whose place they took (Forest’s in all likelihood). Perhaps explains the longer timetable than Drogheda and DAK cases.

Hope our man De Marco has done his stretches....

Maybe they know they have no case so going down this route might offer a different avenue, albeit unlikely?

Presumably the contents of the infamous 'letter' will now have to be shared with Palace.

So they can can continue to smear us after CAS tell them to do one?

Them bringing Lyon in presumably means Textor's now changed sides. And he's Marinakis's mate!

So looks as though Palace have turned their appeal into some kind of tripartite action against  not only UEFA but us and Lyon too. It means we're in a three way legal shootout now, rather than being an innocent bystander waiting for a result.

Until the detail of the appeal becomes known all anyone has is speculation, and it may be a while before that happens, and may never as it remains confidential. 

I doubt though that any team of specialist lawyers, which Palace must be using, would allow any case to be presented that had no merit whatsoever. They’re not in the habit of accepting briefs they think they will lose. So we must assume that there is something there that has leaked or for which disclosure is being demanded.

So I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions just yet.
