Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 07/07/2025Likely to be £115m for the pair, minus sell-on fees of about £13m combined. 010
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Yeah I do Matt. No one in Europe wants to see the likes of Chelsea completely ignore the rules, so UEFA have to act. Hence why these fines are much bigger than ever before and bans have formed part of the settlement. 010
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 04/07/2025These are big sanctions for UEFA, plus the 4y they have to comply or they get hit harder, and the crucial one, a year ban if they breach it by €20m. They will have to comply, albeit they have plenty of players to sell now. 200
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 04/07/2025It's theirs, they all have 88 in the name. This is the final year it's allowed I think. 010
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025No, they've said they've been told by a contact. Why are you so aggressive? 000
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I'm well aware of the regs, 5.02b and 5.02c in particular. 000
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Anyway UEFA doesn't have to announce a decision as Lyon are currently relegated, so as it stands there is no issue. 000
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Regarding your post on Sam C's thread, I don't want to reply there. 3 separate reports of contacts saying we're clear, plus what Kaveh said, who's clearly being briefed by Palace. 200
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025He couldn't say anything else, it was easily searchable in the public domain, as well as being well reported at the time. I suspect it was a direct question from UEFA rather than anything else. Lying in that instance was never an option. 200
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Indeed. On another note FC DAC 1904 Dunajská Streda have been kicked out due to MCO rules today. 000
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025There is absolutely no way you can say definitively that Palace will be kicked out of Europe if Lyon's appeal is successful. If we were definitely out of Europe UEFA could've announced that already. They're avoiding having to make a decision, hoping that Lyon remain relegated. 250
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025If we were out UEFA could publish the decision that we're out, subject to the Lyon ruling from their appeal. 000
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025The need to publish a decision goes away for UEFA if Lyon are relegated. Imagine them announcing we're in, Marinakis appeals then Lyon are relegated. This delay avoids that. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025No, just means the club can't say anything until UEFA are ready. I fully believe we know we're in, and all this is just UEFA waiting with the hope that Lyon are relegated, thus avoiding any need to publish a decision. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025UEFA desperately trying to avoid having to publish a decision that leaves them open to possible legal challenge. I'm sure we've been told we're in anyway. 200
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 30/06/2025It was someone at the club, rather than UEFA. Has been backed up by two others I know of, one on the BBS as the pic, and one who has another contact. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 27/06/2025The Glasner thing is in the public domain anyway, so he could hardly say he wasn't involved. He offered him the job at Lyon. 000
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 27/06/2025And the profile of the club has gone through the roof over the last 2 months! 010
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 27/06/2025I'm confident, yes. Everything that's being released by the media is speculation, they don't know anything, just lurching from one story to another. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 27/06/2025I think the club knows, yes. Here's a comp of Andy Diouf to watch in the meantime. youtu.be/s1mgAd7Am5g?...youtu.beANDY DIOUF | Technique In TransitionYouTube video by Le Talent 200
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 27/06/2025If you mean do I think we'll be playing Europa next season, then yes I do. 100

Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 21/06/2025Why would he lie? And then look very foolish. I actually believe him on this. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 21/06/2025I'd imagine everyone's getting their ducks in a row for the inevitable Marinakis meltdown. BTW my contact hasn't heard anything. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 20/06/2025He says the club has been told. Not heard from my guy yet. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Well, I believe him. And I've sent it to someone I know who is close to the inner circle to see if they've heard anything. No reply yet. 100
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Benfica or Besiktas. The Conf League also did an Eagle yesterday, I guess for Vallecano 010
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 19/06/2025The 1st March date is clearly sacrosanct, hence Drogheda decision. The only thing keeping us in is proving that Textor didn't have decisive control on that date. IMO. 200
Joel @joelcp70.bsky.social · 19/06/2025I don't think a sale will have any bearing on the Europe decision, it'll take months to complete a sale and pass the owner's test. 100
