Re: Season 2025/2026
The rules are the rules. Fair enough if you've found loopholes but this is admitting foul play then giving a reason. You have either broken the rules or you haven't.
Greedy bunch in my opinion. I reckon Palace are lucky to still be in a European competition. Go win it...

Re: Season 2025/2026
It was never going to be successful - CAS are there to ensure UEFA have applied the existing rules correctly, not whether they did the right thing.
The whole MCO thing has gotten a bit silly to the point they might as well just scrap any semblance of control they might have over it, and just allow it without all of this blind trust stuff, and then just keep an eye for anything which does sound unsporting, but none of that is what CAS were asked to do.
Palace were in a MCO and they took no steps to move Textor's shares into a blind trust by the deadline, so they were not eligible to be in the same competition as Lyon, and so as the lower placed side were demoted. It is as simple as that.
