Why this is nonsensical

John Textor owns all of Lyon, but of Palace;
>43% shares
>25% of boardroom
>No decisive influence (explicit in paperwork)

Even deemed decisive influence in both, you can move money into "blind trust"
>Every year the deadline to apply for this for the following season was 1st July (after season ends)
>Except this year, for some reason, where its in March, before anyone knows for what they''ll qualify for

Even if you enforce this, for the competition Palace have been removed from
>John Textor no longer owns ANY of Palace so can't enforce anything

Even if you consider ALL of the above
>UEFA consider 7th in Ligue 1 to be over FA Cup winners to dictate priority

complete bureaucratic nonsense
