European demotion could galvanise Palace - Sutton
Published: 8/11/2025

Crystal Palace faces demotion to the Uefa Conference League after losing their appeal against being dropped from the Europa League for breaching ownership rules. Despite the setback, former player Chris Sutton believes the situation could actually bring the club closer together and galvanize them. Palace recently won the Community Shield against Liverpool but will now need to focus on the positives as they prepare for the Conference League play-off round later this month.
