Crystal Palace’s Stunning Comeback: Can They Rise from Conference League Ashes to Glory?
Palace, however, believe the process has been flawed and inconsistently applied. A key part of their case highlights how Nottingham Forest’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, also controls Olympiacos, yet did not formally step back from Forest until after UEFA’s cutoff. Still, Forest were awarded Palace’s Europa League place in a further reshuffle.
While the club wages its legal battle, a band of ultras from the Holmesdale Fanatics staged a stunt at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. They waved a banner accusing UEFA of being “morally bankrupt,” carried a letter to UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin, and theatrically wielded a briefcase stuffed with fake cash—casting UEFA’s decision as one of greed and inconsistency. Security quickly intervened, but the image was already viral: a vivid symbol of fans’ rage at perceived institutional injustice.
