Correct, they have been moaning and bleating about getting the hell out of here and now things have gone wrong for Der Hun we are expected to welcome them in again and make sure they are in a position to carry on the domination of scottish football??

Screw them if they want so much to join the EPL so much why dont they apply to join the lower echelons of English Football and work their way up or do they expect to have that handed to them on a plate also?

I dont think uefa regs allow a club to play in a different league than the one in the country where their stadium is situated,except for clubs like berwick,gretna etc as they were already doing so before the regs were in place.If they move to the english leagues they couldnt play in glasgow.

What about Cardiff?

defo not the case. UEFA Approved the Atlantic League - the League did not move forward for one or both of the following:-
infighting between Portuguese clubs and Tic/Gers believing EPL option was open therefore abandoning idea.
To state for the record - the EPL will NEVER invite the OF to it's League - the media may toy with the idea (usually courted by Tic) but it won't go anywhere - far too many other barriers.

Whyte will say anything to try to get the Orcs back onside.

Cardiff playing in England pre dates nearly all of the FIFA regulations and any international or continental competitions. They were certainly playing there long before UEFA came into being.
