John Textor has sold his company’s stake in Crystal Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson – in a move that is set to clear the way for the club play in Europe next season.
The American businessman’s Eagle Football Holdings held 43 per cent in the south London club, which qualified for the competition for the first time after a historic victory in the FA Cup Final.
However, as Mail Sport revealed, their participation in the Europa League was thrown into jeopardy thanks to Textor’s ownership of French side Lyon, and potential issues with UEFA’s rules on multi-club ownership.
