Haud on a bit there GS, I don't think to say that they would "get away with it" is a big step, nor is it remotely cynical when viewed in the context of the landscape of Scottish football.
Let's face it, nothing is decided, nothing. Yes the club have committed themselves to do what the vast majority of it's fans, and probably what the fans of most other clubs in Scotland demanded but it hasn't happened yet and the SFL have still to get themselves in order.
This is about the whole of Scottish football and whilst what AFC have done points to the greater good, the greater good will only be actually delivered when Rangers (deceased) begin the season in Div 3. Anything else is simply evades natural justice and amounts to another round of cheating and "getting away with it".
