Crystal Palace’s European Dreams at Risk: What Hidden Crisis Is Shaking Football’s Foundations?
Steve Parish, Crystal Palace’s chairman and public face of the club, has been lobbying UEFA to argue that Palace should not be considered part of a multi-club structure. Parish insists that Textor’s role at the club does not constitute decisive influence. Although Textor holds a significant equity stake, his voting power within the club is limited to 25%, with fellow stakeholders Josh Harris and David Blitzer generally aligning with Parish, who holds the casting vote.
Textor has even publicly expressed frustration at his lack of control. Despite these assurances, UEFA’s primary concern lies not in perception but in the formal legal documents that define ownership and control. That hard evidence may still count against Palace.
