Crystal Palace receive boost in bid to play in Europe next season as UEFA chiefs deliberate over decision amid questions over FA Cup winners' ownership structure

Crystal Palace's hopes of staying in Europe have been given an apparent boost after UEFA bosses asked the club to submit more information.

Officials in Switzerland are understood to have requested that Eagles bosses further outline the ownership and decision-making structure at Selhurst Park ahead of a decision over whether to expel them from next season’s Europa League.

Mail Sport revealed that delegates from Palace had to attend a high-stakes meeting at UEFA headquarters earlier this month, as they seek to avoid falling foul of rules on multi-club ownership.

The FA Cup winners’ historic place is at risk because John Textor, whose company owns 43 per cent of the club, is the majority owner at French side Lyon.
