Utd denied European Licence
For season 16/17 'apparently'.
Now obviously as we won't be competing in European football this isn't a problem.
But the documentation I seen showed the licence was denied in April. At which time we still had a shot of Europe via the Scottish Cup.
Does anyone know the facts here?

Re: Utd denied European Licence
I dunno. It can't be a coaching thing since Ray McKinnon actually delivered the coaching courses at Largs so surely must have his UEFA Pro Licence. The stadium is up to scratch since we got the better floodlights in 2010 and put new seating in the Jerry Kerr in 2011 unless they've changed the criteria. Its probably something out of nothing that we'd have to apply for and UEFA will charge us a shedload of money for the privilege.
Maybe it's because of what happened vs Moscow which, considering what is going on in France right now seems a) relatively minor and b) looks like we had a lucky escape against these clowns.
Too much commotion

Re: Utd denied European Licence
Don't think it will be anything to do with Ray as the licence was apparently rejected in April.
Imagine the fucking fall-out from this if we'd beat Hibs on penalties and then beat Sevco in the Final.It would have made our 3 point deduction at Inverness look like a storm in a teacup.
Apparently Kilmarnock and Hamilton Accies also were rejected for a licence.

Re: Utd denied European Licence
On that same table you saw, Tek, didn't it show Hibs too as not receiving a licence? Yet they will play in Europe.

Re: Utd denied European Licence
According to Joe Rice on Twitter it was rejected due to us not applying for it (after the semi)
