I know some are fed up with me going over old ground but bare with me as we are soon approaching that time.
The SPFL called the league as we know it and gave a title to Celtic. Other euro spots went to Rangers and Motherwell. At that time the SPFL and the SFA agreed to give Aberdeen the 4th European spot. Normally the 4th place would go to the scottish cup but it was deemed at that time it could not happen before a new season starts.
Now we are starting to see the legal ramifications of gifting a 4th euro spot. It now seems it is not guaranteed after all. And Aberdeen know this. Already we see the phrase " Aberdeen will compete in the Europa League next season if the Scottish Cup cannot be completed" appearing in tabloids.
The problem and the can of worms I speak of is on 2 fronts.
1. Why will the SPFL supply 4 clubs for a SFA competition that is the Scottish Cup but wont supply club 42 to the SFA other competition that is the pyramid play off. Both these SFA competitions have not been cancelled to date.
2. With the SFA saying that they want a scottish cup in front of fans they are hoping that a league game has kicked of by then and hope to then officially cancel the pyramid play off, but it comes with a major legal point. Why should the scottish cup take place with crowds if it Denys Hearts or Hibs a European place without crowds. ie The first competition when football returns.
Basically if football returns they will do all they can to stop the Scottish Cup taking place before a league game and that is immoral. And should be added to Hearts case if a legal route is taken. Sue them both.
