London, England – Crystal Palace dey sweat as dem wait to hear if dem European dream don kpafuka before e even start. You sabi say dem win FA Cup, which give dem chance to enter Europa League, na dis fit be dem only opportunity to shine for continental football after 164 years!
But hold on; wetin be this matter wey go fit spoil dem vibe? Na UEFA, di big boss for European football, dey hold dem destiny for hand as dem investigate whether dem don break rule wey dey stop clubs wey belong under one umbrella from participating in di same European competition. E be like say dem don enter wahala!
Di final verdict go depend on John Textor, di American businessman wey dey own Eagle Football, wey get 43% stake for Palace. E no too far from gist of konfronter wey dey go happen today for Nyon, Switzerland, where Palace officials go meet UEFA. Dem wan prove say dem no dey share resources or personnel with Lyon, wey Textor also fit hold stake for dem.
But the worry be say, as per dem rules, if dem fit show say no crossover dey between di two clubs, then no wahala! (Abi dem go fit prove am? Abeg, no be joke).
For addition, Ineos wey get parts for both clubs, fit still enter Europa League last season because dem meet UEFA’s criteria, wey (no be small advice na, na real deal!)
Dem dey try everything possible to make sure sey dem fit continue dem European journey. Na so football be now, you go dey cross your fingers and wish say make dem no shy away from di chop! Make dem no forget say wahala dey wey fit stop dem from playing. E fit be big gobe if dem no sabi manage dis matter well.
So, as Crystal Palace dey hustle for dia meeting and dey try package dia story well, we go dey keep eye on top wetin go happen. Will dem find way to enter di competition or dem go carry dem wahala jeje go home? Only time go tell!
