Chairman of the Board of Directors of Crystal Palace Steve Parish Commented on the club’s exclusion from the Europa League.
We are disappointed. I truly feel sorry for the players, fans, and staff. This is a bad day for football. When a club that honestly earned a ticket to the tournament is excluded due to a ridiculous technicality, it’s absurd! Most fans with a conscience will understand that this is a grave injustice. We plan to appeal and consider various options. Earlier, it became known that
UEFA did not allow the British team into the Europa League because of Lyon, with whom they had a joint owner until the end of June. Crystal Palace will now compete in the Conference League.
