Palace co-owner John Textor would sell shares for Europa League chance

Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor is willing to sell his shares in the club in order to ensure the Eagles can enter next season's Europa League, according to reports. The American, whose Eagle Football Group owns 43 per cent of Palace, has imperilled the club's chance of a first-ever European campaign owing to his involvement with Ligue 1 side Lyon, but is ready to offload his stake to his fellow co-owners in order to bring the saga to an end. UEFA does not allow clubs with the same ownership to compete in the same European competitions in a season. As well as his stake in Palace, the 59-year-old has a controlling stake in the French club, also via Eagle Football. However it is also reported that the European governing body does not consider Textor's influence at Selhurst Park to be decisive and is leaning towards allowing the club into the Europa League regardless. The PA news agency understands no formal decision is likely on Palace's fate until the end of June. Textor has previously spoken of his frustration at how little influence his stake entitles him to, over football matters. Victory for Oliver Glasner's side over Manchester City in last month's FA Cup final gave them their first major trophy and with it a first crack at Europe. However, Nottingham Forest have since written to UEFA to challenge Palace's Europa League spot and in the hope of taking their place. Forest's owner Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Greek side Olympiacos, placed his shares in the club in a blind trust before the governing body's March 1 deadline, anticipating Nuno Espirito Santo's side's European qualification. At present Forest, who finished seventh in last season's Premier League, are set to enter the Conference League but would take Palace's Europa League place, should they be deemed ineligible.

Labour faces backlash after taking credit for Bank of England's interest rate cuts

The Government came under fire last night after seeking to take credit for interest rate cuts in the UK. Rachel Reeves used her spending review to claim her policies have 'helped support four cuts in interest rates ' by the Bank of England since the election. It echoed similar comments from Sir Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions just minutes earlier. But they faced a backlash from economists. Simon French, chief economist at City broker Panmure Liberum, said that Labour's spending may have led to higher interest rates. Describing himself as 'uncomfortable with this line from the Chancellor that fiscal policy has supported cutting UK interest rates four times', he said: 'Basic economics would have it that looser fiscal policy necessitates tighter monetary policy, all else being equal.' The former Bank of England rate-setter Andrew Sentance said French's analysis was 'absolutely right' and suggested that the Bank 'has been over-hasty in cutting rates'. And Julian Jessop, of the Institute of Economic Affairs, noted that while Starmer 'is still trying to claim credit for four interest rate cuts', the European Central Bank 'has cut interest rates eight times in the past year'. The Bank's monetary policy committee is independent and Government ministers have no say in its interest rate decisions.

Affordable housing plan boosts builders but Labour is still on track to miss election target of 1.5m homes

Shares in Britain's developers soared after Rachel Reeves put a £39billion affordable housing plan at the heart of her spending review. The Chancellor said it was the 'biggest cash injection in affordable and social housing in 50 years' but figures showed Labour is on track to miss its target of 1.5m homes by the next election. Just 39,170 homes won permission in England in the first three months of 2025, the lowest quarterly figure since records began, the Home Builders Federation said. Shares in Bovis owner Vistry, which specialises in affordable housing, rose 6 per cent. Crest Nicholson and Bellway gained 4.5 per cent and 2.6 per cent respectively. Persimmon was up 1.1 per cent, while Barratt Redrow, Taylor Wimpey and Berkeley Group rose 0.7 per cent. Alex Slater, at Rightmove, said the cash 'is a really positive boost'. But Emma Humphreys, at law firm Charles Russell Speechlys, said: 'Given the recent dip, there are serious concerns about an even tighter housing supply. 'Serious change is needed but it is unclear whether the spending will achieve that.'
