Crystal Palace set to learn Europa League fate this week as co-owner looks to buy out John Textor
JOSH HARRIS wants to buy out John Textor in the latest tug of war at Crystal Palace.

But a sale is unlikely to be quick and will not impact the decision of Uefa chiefs. And Harris is looking to pay a smaller sum than his US compatriot wants.

Palace hope that relatively low figure will help their case with Uefa, who are expected to deliver a verdict next week. Lyon are also set to feature in the competition having finished higher than Palace domestically, with a sixth-placed finish in the Ligue 1 last season. Uefa rules prohibit anyone from "simultaneously be involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration, and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a Uefa club competition."

This is because other shareholder David Blizter also has a stake in Danish oufit Brondby, who are set to play in European football's tertiary club competition next season. Abandoned iconic UK stadium left to rot 110 years after hosting FA Cup final getting new lease of life In a desperate bid to see the Eagles fly across Europe next season and comply with Uefa rules, Textor and Blizter offered to put their shares in a blind trust.

Manchester City and utilised blind trusts last season as sister clubs Girona and Nice both qualified for the Champions League and Europa League respectively.
