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.' UEFA rules say that no owner or co-owner can have a controlling interest in more than one club competing in the same European competition during the same season. Palace's position throughout has been that Textor, who had previously spoken publicly about his frustration over the lack of influence he was able to exert at Selhurst Park, did not have a sufficiently controlling role for the club to fall foul of the regulations. The deadline for shareholders to divest their interest in a club, or in some other way to alter their ownership structure, in order to comply with the regulations was March 1. Forest, who stand to gain from the ruling, were at risk of being in a similar situation but their owner Evangelos Marinakis – who also owns Greek side Olympiacos – placed his shares in a blind trust ahead of the deadline in anticipation of the club qualifying for Europe. 'We feel that there are a lot of very genuine mitigating circumstances and more than enough wriggle room to put us in the competition,' said Parish. Evangelos Marinakis owns both Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos (Mike Egerton/PA) 'It does look bad. This is the dream right? This is what keeps football alive. This is why everybody goes, because they think one day they might win a cup and they might qualify for Europe. 'These things can be defining moments for a club and completely change the course of history forever. 'Hopefully when we go to CAS we get the right answer. 'We get the written version of (the ruling) with the detail then apparently the appeal is 10 days'

Wales' most-cappted keeper Hennessey retires at 38

Parish confirms Palace will appeal over Europa League demotion
Palace qualified for the Europa League with a shock FA Cup final win over Manchester City in May. But UEFA, European football's governing body, ruled Palace should drop down to the Conference League over a conflict of interest involving the club's former director John Textor, who also part-owns French side Lyon. Textor stepped away from Palace at the start of July, but the ownership issue relates to the end of last season when the south London team secured a maiden European appearance by winning the first major trophy in their history. UEFA's ruling would mean Nottingham Forest, who finished seventh in the Premier League, take Palace's place in the Europa League, but Parish has signalled his intent to contest the decision. "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.
