According to the Daily Mail, the Premier League Crystal Palace Club is preparing to challenge UEFA to fully disclose the content of emails and text messages between it and Nottingham Forest Club, which they believe can prove that there are double standards on the cancellation of Crystal Palace's qualifying for the UEFA Cup.

Last season's FA Cup champion Crystal Palace, because it failed to resolve the equity issue of their former major shareholder John Tuctor (Note: the person also holds shares of France's Lyon), was reduced from the UEFA Cup to the UEFA Champions League next season, and Nottingham Forest was "upgraded" from the UEFA Champions League to replace Crystal Palace to participate in the UEFA Champions League next season.

Crystal Palace believes that Nottingham Forest is allowed to extend the March 1 deadline to comply with UEFA's regulations on ownership of multiple clubs, and that it has not received such treatment. The European Club Association (ECA) sent an email to inform its members that the deadline for March 1 is not irreplaceable, and that the risky clubs are allowed to postpone the problem until May 31, but Crystal Palace is not an ECA member, so it did not receive the notice (Note: Although Nottingham Forest is not an ECA member, the Greek Olympiacos Club, which is under its same boss, is an ECA member).
