I suggest you either:
- Figure out a way to include a French club into the higher division which avoids the above problems.
or
- Admit that no matter how it happens you will be opposed to it.

Yes leave them where they are , unfortunatley they might not have anywhere else to play from now on as they seem to have p155ed off the other French clubs

What reasons were given for them not being allowed into the Lord Derby cup ?

I understand that the reason they couldn't enter the Lord Derby was that another team had been voted into their position which meant that the usual 32-16-8-4-2 format couldn't have been continued with.
