Palace are in danger of being removed from the competition by UEFA for breaking multi-club ownership rules
Transcript
00:00What's going on between Crystal Palace and Lyon and who is John Texter?
00:04Well he's an American businessman with controlling stakes in both clubs.
00:07Well he was until recently.
00:09As you can't own two teams that play in the same UEFA competition he's had to relinquish some of his control.
00:13Palace didn't do this before the deadline which could now see them be kicked out in favour of Lyon.
00:18Lyon face a relegation from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2 due to financial problems.
00:22And John Texter is a key part of those problems.
00:25In which case Palace will be in Europe.
00:28Manchester City and Girona manage to get around this but in this case it's a bit more complicated.
00:32But we await Lyon's result to see what actually happens.
