Crystal Palace will have to wait until at least Monday to discover if they have been made available to play their first European campaign.
Palace's “Multi Club -Ownoming” things belonged to a number of similar things considered by UEFA Finance Chiefs.
But the meeting at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon has so many things to consider that the last judgments will only be announced after the weekend.
Legal beaks and managers of Palace argue their case in the financial control of the UEFA's club, with their arguments reinforced by Lyon's relegation of the top flight of France about the rising debts of the club.
The Selhurst club is made to wait for the green light since their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City because Lyon is owned by the Eagle Football Group who is owned by the American businessman John Textor, who had a 44.9 percent interest in the Palace, despite the Palace of Josve and Balave blit.
Despite its limited role in Selhurst Park, UEFA was concerned that Textor's ownership interest has violated regulations that clubs that are part of a shared ownership group cannot compete in the same competition.
Because of these rules, Manchester United owners parked their shares in French side Nice in a blind trust to let both play in the Europa League in the Europa League last season, with Chelsea owners Blueco withdrawing from their practical role in Strasbourg.
And Evangelos Marinakis, owner of Nottingham Forest, stepped back from an official role on the city in April, to meet UEFA, when he hoped that the East Midlanders would be eligible for the Champions League next to the Greek side Olympiacos.
However, Palace has not made any changes to the ownership structure prior to the UEFA Theadline for next season – a situation complicated by Blitzer's ownership of Danish Side Brondby, who qualified for the Conference League.
And when Lyon finished sixth in Ligue 1, compared to the 12th placed ranking of Palace in the Prem, they have priority on the South East London side.
Nevertheless, the FA has supported the Eagles and the Palace case, the announcement of Textor was also helped that he is selling his palace shares to the owner of New York Jets and former American ambassador in the British Woody Johnson in a deal of £ 190 million.
That sale must still be cleared by the Premier League, although it is not expected to be stopped.
Textor is now confronted with issued from the Lyon HotSeat, with Investment Fund Ares, who borrowed the American businessman £ 330 million to finance his takeover in 2023 in search of new leadership.
Lyon's relegation means that they would not be nominated to take their Europa League place, although the club is attractive against the decision of the financial regulator of French football.
But if Lyon won their appeal after he was excluded from the official access list, Nyon Chiefs would expect that they will probably apply to the Court of Arbitration to be restored.
That would probably be at the expense of Strasbourg, who ended seventh in Ligue 1 and is expected to be nominated in Lyon's place.
Insiders, however, expect that Palace would not be forbidden afterwards to compete if UEFA deleted their entry.
In the meantime, the Irish side Drogheda has been driven out of the UEFA Conference League.
This is due to multi-club ownership rules in a similar circumstance such as Palace.
