Despite the demotion, Palace has announced that they will take the matter to the Court of Arbitration in Sport. However, it's worth noting that Textor has since sold his stake to Woody Johnson, a deadline set by UEFA having already passed.
A group of Palace fans, known as the Holmesdale Fanatics, decided to take a creative approach to expressing their discontent. They presented a suitcase filled with mock currency to the UEFA front desk in Nyon, accompanied by a letter to UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, urging a reversal of the decision.
The fans also traveled to Lausanne, where the Court of Arbitration in Sport is located, to hold up a protest banner. Their actions reflect the strong sense of disappointment and frustration among the Palace fan base.
