The decision to enter the Europa League next season is still pending. UEFA has requested more information about the ownership and decision-making process at Selhurst Park. This is because Crystal Palace's owner, John Textor, also has a stake in Lyon, a French football club.

Textor's company, Eagle Football Holdings, has submitted a confidential filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This filing invites institutional investors to buy shares in the club. Although Textor is not directly involved in the day-to-day running of Crystal Palace, this move will allow the public to invest in the team.

The club has confirmed the plans for an initial public offering through a statement. The details of the offering, including the size and price range, have yet to be determined. The success of the IPO depends on various factors, including market conditions and the completion of the SEC's review process.

The benefits of this move for Crystal Palace fans are clear. Not only will they have the opportunity to invest in their favourite team, but it may also help the club's financial stability in the long run. As the details of the IPO become clearer, fans will have a better understanding of how they can participate and support their team.

Crystal Palace's journey towards becoming a publicly traded club is an exciting development. As the team continues to grow and evolve, this move will provide fans with a unique opportunity to be a part of the action.
