Steve Parish says Crystal Palace will appeal against Europa League exclusion
The American stepped away from Palace at the start of July, but the ownership issue relates to the end of last season when the club secured a first European appearance by beating Manchester City at Wembley.
Crystal Palace fans have protested against UEFA's ruling (Yui Mok/PA).
UEFA's ruling would mean Nottingham Forest, who finished seventh in the Premier League, taking Palace's place in the Europa League.
'We are still fighting,' Parish told the The Rest is Football podcast. 'There's an appeal process, so we go to CAS which is the court for arbitration and, you know, we're very hopeful. We think we've got great legal arguments.
'We don't think this is the right decision by any means. We know unequivocally that John didn't have decisive influence over the club.
'We know we proved that beyond all reasonable doubt because it's a fact.'

Furious Crystal Palace fans launch UEFA protest amid club's Europa League appeal
Crystal Palace fans protested UEFA 's decision to demote their club from the Europa League to the Conference League. The demotion was due to a breach of multi-club ownership rules, specifically concerning co-owner John Textor's involvement with both Palace and Lyon. Members of the Holmesdale Fanatics travelled to UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, to hand-deliver a letter to president Aleksander Ceferin demanding the ruling be overturned. The fan group also presented UEFA with a suitcase of fake money, symbolising perceived contradictions in the organisation's values and conduct. Following the protest, Palace lodged an appeal against UEFA, Nottingham Forest, and Lyon with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), with a decision anticipated by 11 August.

My kids didn't even know Mike Tyson. But now they know Mike Tyson. "Listen, Jake Paul is doing so many great things for boxing, I don't care what anybody he says. He should fight Roy Jones next. "I would tell him not to fight Joshua. Because Joshua would actually smoke him out for the sake of it.

Don't fight AJ." 6 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Joshua, 35, is coming off a September knockout loss to Daniel Dubois, 27, and had elbow surgery ahead of his return to the ring.

Alalshikh was once critical of Paul's boxing career and opponents - but the two appear to have made amends. And Chisora added: "I remember when Turki Alalshikh said he's not promoting YouTube boxing. "I thought, why did you say that? Doesn't he know the force of these young guys; Jake Paul, KSI, Logan Paul, Speed. "These guys are mega Gods in the YouTube game. They don't need anybody. Fast forward later on, he's taking photos with Jake Paul, KSI, Speed. "He realised he can't beat these young kids. So what do you do? You join them because they're on fire." 6 Turki Alalshikh pictured with Jake Paul Credit: @Turki_alalshikh

Casemiro thinks Liverpool could be signing a future world-beater as transfer 'accelerates'
Casemiro has played with a plethora of world-class talents but made an effort to name reported Liverpool target Rodrygo as a player capable of following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi Casemiro admitted that Rodrygo can become one of the very best players in the world with Liverpool advancing in talks with the Real Madrid star's camp. The Manchester United midfielder was team-mates with the winger in Spain for three years and was certainly best positioned to analyse the heights he believed his compatriot could reach. The 24-year-old has established himself as a vital player for the Spanish giants in recent years but suffered a decrease in importance last season under Carlo Ancelotti due to the signing of Kylian Mbappe. He started just 22 league games, while getting only 92 minutes of action during Madrid's run in the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this month. His lack of game-time has led to uncertainty over his future, with Arsenal and Liverpool reportedly interested in the forward. It was earlier this year that Casemiro - who spent nine years with Madrid - showered praise on Mbappe and his former team-mates, including Rodrygo. Speaking to Diario AS, the Brazilian insisted that while the Frenchman has the ability to be the world's best, it's a label in football that the 24-year-old is also capable of. "He [Mbappe] is one of those players that when you play against them you don't know how to stop him. He's not [on top of] the podium yet, but he'll get there," Casemiro said. "He's the heir to [ Messi and Ronaldo ], along with Vinicius Jr, who continues to grow and improve in every game, Rodrygo, and Fede Valverde." It wasn't the first time he sang the praises of the winger as he said in 2022: "He lit up my eyes. "He's a star. God gave him the gift of playing football. Rodrygo knows when to attack, when to defend, when to be more aggressive, when to play more vertically. This kid is one of the most complete players of his generation." With speculation suggested Luis Diaz is ready to depart Anfield with Bayern Munich interested in the Colombian, reports indicate that the Reds are ready to pounce on Rodrygo with talks commencing with his entourage, according to Foot Mercato. They claim discussions have begun between the Premier League champions' hierarchy and Rodrygo's camp in order to seek out the possibility of a transfer after six years in Spain. While no contact has been directly made with Madrid, the winger's preferred destination is said to be England. The Gunners are also said to be interested in pursuing Rodrygo despite signing one wide player already in Noni Madueke. A third Premier League have reportedly joined the race, with Tottenham Hotspur aiming to lure the Brazilian to north London. AS reports that Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, is planning to use his "good relationship" with Madrid to capture Rodrygo for a lower price than the £76m he's reportedly been valued at.
