GENEVA (AP) — Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says the decision to cut the club from the Europa League is “a bad day for football” and “a terrible injustice.”UEFA demoted Crystal Palace to the third-tier Conference League on Friday because of the English cup winner’s ownership ties to French club Lyon through American businessman John Textor.Textor's 43% minority stake in Palace — even though he had limited decision-making influence there — while he owned Lyon outright, conflicted with UEFA rules on multi-club ownership designed to protect the integrity of its competitions.“We're devastated,” Parish told Sky Sports. “It's a bad day for football. It's a terrible injustice. We've been locked out of a European competition on the most ridiculous technicality. Supporters of all clubs shoul...

When Tyronn Lue announced pregame Monday that Bradley Beal was out vs. Atlanta, the Clippers coach was asked, “Is there a concern that Brad’s injury might be beyond just this game?” “Yes.”That answer raised red flags. Now comes news that Beal has a fractured hip that will require surgery and he will miss the remainder of this season. The timeline for his recovery is six to nine months, a story broken by Shams Charania of ESPN and since confirmed by the Clippers.The injury occurred against Phoenix on Saturday when he attempted to take a charge, fell awkwardly on his hip and left the game not to return.This comes as a real blow to the Clippers, who have stumbled to a 3-7 start to the season and are currently without Kawhi Leonard due to a sprained ankle. The Clippers were banking on Beal to ...

Palace were huge underdogs to win the FA Cup, beating Manchester City 1-0, and their joy at qualifying for Europe for a first time quickly turned to unease when the club realised their spot may be in doubt.Uefa's regulations around multi-club ownership and European competitions are in place to prevent collusion.In the governing body's rulebook, a club is required to prove they are not "simultaneously involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration, and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a Uefa club competition".Textor's Eagle Football owns a 43% stake in Palace and a 77% stake in Lyon, but the Premier League side argued they are an entity that operates entirely independently.Forest asked for clarity from Uefa in June on Palace's position in...

Bradley Beal’s first season in Los Angeles won’t be getting a Hollywood ending. The Clippers guard will undergo season-ending surgery on a hip fracture, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. “We met with numerous doctors and specialists around the country in collaboration with the entire Clippers medical staff over the last few days, and came to the decision unanimously that the surgery will allow Brad to have a full and complete recovery,” Beal’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, told ESPN.

The news Crystal Palace had been dreading was delivered mid-afternoon on Friday.European football’s governing body, UEFA, contacted the London club confirming they had been barred from entering next season’s Europa League. They had, as the subsequent public statement stated, “breached, as at 1 March 2025, the multi-club ownership criteria foreseen in Article 5.01 of the UEFA Club Competition Regulations”.Palace will instead compete in Europe’s third-tier competition, the UEFA Conference League — a far less lucrative and prestigious tournament. Provided, that is, they first navigate a two-leg qualifying tie next month. It feels like scant reward for lifting the FA Cup, the first major trophy in the club’s century-plus history.Those jubilant scenes at Wembley Stadium after beating Manchester...

Asked to describe what he’d seen from Luka Dončić in the early days of the 2025-26 NBA season, Marcus Smart found himself forced past grammar, diction and sense.“Fantasticness,” Smart offered after the Los Angeles Lakers’ win last Friday over the slumping Memphis Grizzlies.AdvertisementIs that a word? Well, not strictly speaking, no. But then: If stuff like what Luka’s been putting on the court doesn’t inspire you to start reaching beyond the surly bonds of language, are you even really a poet?Those first Men’s Health cover shots of a newly chiseled Luka raised Lakers fans’ expectations for what kind of magic he might make in his first full season in Los Angeles; his dominant run for Slovenia at EuroBasket 2025 sent those expectations into the stratosphere. But even the most cockeyed optim...

Aug 11 (Reuters) - Crystal Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson said that the club's drop from the Europa League would "devalue the competition", as they await the Court of Arbitration for Sport's (CAS) decision on their appeal against UEFA's ruling in a multi-club ownership case.Palace were demoted to the Conference League, the third-tier European competition, by UEFA's Club Financial Control Body in July because John Textor, president of the Eagle Football Group, majority owners of Olympique Lyonnais, also has a controlling stake in the London club.
