Crystal Palace will appeal UEFA's decision to demote them to the Conference League due to ownership rules infringements, chairman Steve Parish has said.

Palace have argued Textor had no meaningful influence at Selhurst Park and have pledged to appeal, with Parish confirming they intend to take the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)

Crystal Palace supporters staged a protest outside Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening following Uefa’s ruling to demote the club from the Europa League to the Conference League. Palace qualified for this season’s Europa League courtesy of their shock win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May, which secured a historic first major trophy.
