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.'

Transfer news live: Liverpool target Isak after Diaz deal, Arsenal want Eze, Man Utd latest
Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are among the clubs striking major deals as the summer transfer window nears its final month. Liverpool have signed Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt in a £79m deal having beaten off interest from Newcastle to secure his signature. The Reds have also agreed to sell Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich which could challenge the resolve of Newcastle who are holding firm in their valuation of Alexander Isak. Isak has requested to 'explore his options' away from the club with a move to Liverpool seemingly the likeliest destination as the Premier League champions aim to strengthen their forward line. Arsenal have completed the signing of Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, closing out a deal worth £63m for the forward who was unveiled as a new Gunner during their pre-season match against Newcastle on Sunday. The Gunners have also confirmed the signing of Cristhian Mosquera in defence and have their sights on Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze. Elsewhere, Manchester United have completed the signing of Bryan Mbeumo who joins Matheus Cunha in Ruben Amorim's new-look attack though the manager is still hopeful of securing a No.9 before the start of the season. Marcus Rashford has completed a loan move to Barcelona while Jadon Sancho is drawing interest from Juventus as the club also focus on outgoings. Meanwhile, Chelsea have their sights on a Dutch duo of Xavi Simons and centre-back Jorrel Hato. Arsenal ramp up bid for Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze Arsenal are aiming to swiftly move to secure Crystal Palace 's Eberechi Eze now that the deal for Sporting 's Viktor Gyokeres is complete. Mikel Arteta 's side are Eze's top choice, as has previously been reported by The Independent, and those close to the player are confident a deal will be done in the next few weeks. Arsenal are hoping to agree a fee that comes to £60m, rather than the reported £68m clause, although on terms that are also amenable to Palace. Although there has not yet been any formal contact between the two clubs, the suggestions are that both will be flexible, amid good relations between the two boardrooms. Mike Jones28 July 2025 07:23 Arsenal complete Viktor Gyokeres signing Arsenal have completed the signing of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting, for a final fee of €63m (£55m) with a further €10m to potentially be paid in add-ons (totalling £64m). The 27-year-old has signed a five-year contract. The purchase marks the end of an 18-month hunt for a number-nine from Arsenal, who have been insistent on signing a goalscorer for the 'here and now'. Gyokeres' arrival also marks the end of a hard period of negotiations with Sporting, who were insistent on more achievable add-ons. At one point, the deal dragged on and stalled over a potential add-on of €5m. Viktor Gyokeres signs five-year deal with Arsenal worth up to £64m The deal brings an end to Arsenal's lengthy wait for a number nine – and prolonged courtship of the Swede Miguel Delaney28 July 2025 07:22 Man Utd told Ollie Watkins is 'not for sale' after initial approach Manchester United have been firmly rebuffed by Aston Villa after an informal inquiry over a possible move for Ollie Watkins. United made the inquiry on Thursday evening but were told that Watkins 'is not for sale'. Watkins is just one of a few strikers United have looked at along with others including Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson and RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. With a valuation of around £60m, Watkins is one of the cheaper options United are exploring and has proven Premier League quality. If they do pursue a deal then it will be difficult to convince Villa to part ways with their man.

The Colombian winger, who is currently in Tokyo with Liverpool on their pre-season tour, will leave on Sunday or Monday to complete the formalities of his move. Liverpool had long insisted Diaz was not for sale but reluctantly agreed to his request to go. Liverpool accept €75m Luis Diaz bid from Bayern Munich Richard Jolly 28 July 2025 07:20

Lioness Lucy Bronze mocks England doubters with witty "masterplan" video after Euros win
England's women claimed Euro 2025 glory against Spain and Lucy Bronze has posted a witty video with Esme Morgan joking about their masterplan to reclaim their title Lucy Bronze posted a video on Instagram joking that England women's loss to France to begin Euro 2025 was "all part of the plan" so that other teams would "underestimate" them. The Lionesses saw off Spain on penalties to retain their European crown with Chloe Kelly hammering home the winning kick after the match had finished 1-1. Rewind several weeks, though, and Sarina Wiegman 's side endured a forgettable start to their defence. They lost 2-1 to France in their opener and it led defender Jess Carter to claim they "played like they were a little bit scared". But that has all been forgotten and Bronze has been able to see the funny side of the loss as she and Esme Morgan posted a video together from the changing rooms. The duo were shaking hands as Bronze began: "Losing the first game so everyone underestimated us". The camera then panned to Morgan as the video continued: "Sike! All part of the plan to bring it home again!!" Bronze, holding her medal, finished: "European champions back to back". The Lionesses became the first nation to retain the women's Euros since Germany won six in a row from 1995 to 2013 as they also settled a personal score with Spain, who had beaten them in the World Cup final several years ago. Bronze herself has earned huge accolades after playing through the pain barrier. She's been seen holding her leg for several games, which has required strapping during the tournament. During the final she was limping again but managed 105 minutes, before leaving the pitch in tears as she was forced off. Bronze said: "I just hurt my knee today on the other leg. That is why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game because I have been in a lot of pain. "But if that's what it takes to play for England, that's what I'll do - they know that. We inspire each other by playing through things like that and it got us to the end, in the end." She joked though that her injury would not halt her ability to celebrate: "It's very painful. I am going to party, I am going to enjoy it and that's it." Wiegman said on Bronze's efforts: "She had some issues with her tibia so of course we tried to manage that. When you play 120 minutes you're not managing it are you? The whole team has a great mentality but she has a crazy mentality, it's unbelievable."
