Can anyone summarize the CP Europa league issue? I never saw what they did wrong?
Former part-owner of Palace (he sold his share after the UEFA deadline) also owns a significant chunk of Lyon, and they both qualified for the Europa League. Lyon finished higher in their league so they get the Europa League spot, Palace go into the Conference. General idea behind the rule being that it stops clubs with the same owners manipulating results, for instance if they get drawn against each other and one team needs a certain result to get out of the group.

Not totally sure on the technical explanation of when and where the rules apply though, because City and Girona were both in the Champions League last season and I'm guessing the Red Bull group would've had Leipzig and Salzburg in the same boat at some stage.

Celtic were drawn in a group with RB Leipzig and RB Salzburg in the Europa League during Rodgers' first spell.

At the very least he has to win something.During his tenure West Ham Spurs Palace & Newcastle have won something.
As have Arsenal, or does his FA Cup win not count for some reason?

As for West Ham and Spurs, counting European competitions Arsenal didn't qualify for due to exceeding the qualification criteria is a weird stick to beat him with.

Honestly think this can't be done with huge confidence until we know what happens Gueye and Isak from a Livepool POV, if those 2 are signed Liverpool win the league, if not then City.

I'm to tired to overly think about this , looking at relegation tempted to have a small bet on West Ham more so for value compared to the promoted sides , Bournemouth are the other established side that might struggle but will stay up with a few games to spare.
