Crystal Palace's summer has played out in the boardroom and will continue in the courtroom.
The club's failed fight to maintain their place in the Europa League next season has dominated the club's summer, in what should have been a period of celebration and optimism following their FA Cup triumph in May.
The forthcoming appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), scheduled to take place behind closed doors on 8 August, will ultimately determine whether Palace keep what they believe to be their rightful place in the Europa League or will play in the lesser Europa Conference League.
