Forest ask for clarity over Palace's Europa League place

Nottingham Forest is seeking clarity from Uefa regarding Crystal Palace's Europa League spot, raising concerns about potential breaches of multi-club ownership rules due to American businessman John Textor's ownership links between Palace and Lyon. Forest, finishing seventh, could benefit if Palace is disqualified, possibly elevating them to the Europa League. Palace maintain that their FA Cup win and qualification are independent achievements, with no shared staff, strategy, partnerships, or collaborations with Lyon. Uefa's regulations aim to prevent collusion and promote fair competition among clubs in European tournaments.
