Crystal Palace must wait until Monday to learn whether they will be allowed to play in next season’s Europa League.<\/b><\/p>\n
Uefa executives met on Friday to discuss the matter and the outcome of the hearing had been expected to be announced later in the day, but the meeting is now set to resume on Monday.<\/p>\n
Crystal Palace won the FA Cup to qualify for Europe for the first time in their history but Uefa is deciding whether the London club are in breach of its multi-club ownership rules.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week it was announced New York Jets owner Woody Johnson has signed a “legally binding contract”<\/a> to buy John Textor’s 43% stake in Crystal Palace in a deal believed to be worth close to \u00a3190m.<\/p>\n The Eagles are under threat of losing their spot in Europe on the basis of Textor’s involvement with the club, with Uefa’s rules barring teams which are linked by ownership from competing in the same European competition.<\/p>\n Textor has a stake in French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League, while Palace insist Textor has no significant control despite his shareholding in the south east London club.<\/p>\n There was a further twist this week when Lyon suffered relegation into Ligue 2<\/a> because of their poor financial state, which could prevent the French side from playing in Europe altogether.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
