That's "FA Cup winner Matt Turner" to you.

Frustrating that they'll be allowed, probably, to sort this out. What are rules and deadlines for if they're bent every time. Chuck them out.

Football is bent. Everyone can break the rules apart from us and Everton. (Actually I think Everton pretty much got away with it too), so us.
The MAD Greek is good at getting mad at Referees and Forest personnel but doesn't seem to have much sway with leagues and bent officials because it seems he doesn't like brown envelopes the cheap cnut. (actually I admire that,,,but I digress). Cloughie would turn in his grave...
Yeah, we won't get anything out of it. I would shocked if we did.
Eveything is pretty much a joke nowadays., Guess who started that trend...I will give you a clue...FIFA,.
Cnuts.
I think I might be there with Tricky again...(shit),,, this is starting to make me lose my love of football...

From The Grauniad a couple of hours ago. Nothing particularly new, but definitely making it sound more likely that Palace get booted.

I have sympathy for their fans but the club knew this could happen. The deadline to sort the ownership was end of April, they beat Villa on 26th. It’s short notice but they could and should have preempted this, like EM did. Seems like they’ll be putting a brave face on getting into the conference at worst.
-
Be careful what you wish for.....
Palace get bumped to Conference taking our Conference place does not mean we get bumped to Europa.
-
If I've understood it right, Palace can't take our Conference place because one of their owners has a stake in Brondby. If they're bumped, they're bumped completely.
-
Correct. Brighton would pick up the conference place.
-
Aha, well I’ve heard that, in the same way Lyon take precedence over Palace in the europa, Palace take precedence over Brondby in the conference.
-
According to the Guardian article, the team that finishes highest in their domestic league takes priority. Which is Brondby.
-
And even if not, they can't just take our conference league spot. We would have to be bumped up as we haven't earnt our spot because Palace won the FA Cup.
-
It would be hilarious if we ended up winning a competition we didn’t qualify for.
-
Palace beat Brondby on the first criteria, don't they?
-
You'd think so, eh?
Typical grauniad, getting my hopes up. -
But wouldn't that mean we still get the Europa?
