Textor could opt to sell his stake as quickly as possibly, but this looks unlikely unless a huge offer comes in.<\/p>\n<h2>Other Clubs Affected By UEFA Ownership Rules<\/h2>\n<p>As mentioned, UEFA&#8217;s ownership rules stipulate that no entity can have control or decisive influence over multiple clubs in UEFA competition.<\/p>\n<p>This goes beyond just ownership, and can include management and sporting performance too.<\/p>\n<p>Clubs with the same owners are allowed to participate in different UEFA competitions, though.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, owners have been forced to place shares into a blind trust, or sell part of their stake to comply with the UEFA ownership rules.<\/p>\n<p>Below are a few examples of other clubs affected by this issue.<\/p>\n<h4>Aston Villa and Vit\u00f3ria Sport Clube:<\/h4>\n<p>Villa and Vitoria were under scrutiny ahead of the 2023-24 season, but were allowed to participate after making some changes,<\/p>\n<h4>Brighton &amp; Hove Albion and Royal Union Saint-Gilloise:<\/h4>\n<p>Likewise, Brighton and Union Saint-Gilloise were cleared by UEFA, but were under investigation at one stage.<\/p>\n<h4>AC Milan and Toulouse FC:<\/h4>\n<p>Multi-club ownership rules meant AC Milan and Toulouse underwent a review in 2023\/24.<\/p>\n<h4>Manchester City and Girona FC:<\/h4>\n<p>Owned by the City Football Group, both Girona and Manchester City faced issues.<\/p>\n<p>At one stage, it looked like Girona wouldn&#8217;t be allowed to compete in the Champions League, but UEFA offered divestment solutions to mitigate the problem.<\/p>\n<h4>Manchester United and OGC Nice:<\/h4>\n<p>Sir Jim Ratcliffe&#8217;s INEOS group owns both Manchester United and Nice.<\/p>\n<p>This had led to increased scrutiny over their compliance with UEFA ownership rules.<\/p>\n<h4>Chelsea and Strasbourg:<\/h4>\n<p>According to the BBC, Chelsea and Strasbourg parent company BlueCo has needed to make changes to ensure it followed the rules.<\/p>\n<h4>Nottingham Forest and Olympiacos:<\/h4>\n<p>Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis is also involved with Olympiacos, causing a potential issue if they ever qualify for the same European competition.<\/p>\n<h2>What Will Happen If Crystal Palace Are Kicked Out Of Europe?<\/h2>\n<p>Should the worst happen for Palace, it will affect a number of Premier League sides.
