Alan Burrows has told Barry Robson he can boost his kitty for the big Aberdeen rebuild this summer by landing a European jackpot.
If the Dons hold on to third place and Celtic win the Scottish Cup it would guarantee Euro group stage football which was estimated to be worth around £5-6million to Hearts this season. Chief executive Burrows said: “I don’t think Europe will dictate Barry’s budget but it will influence it. There’s a realisation that if you’re playing in Europe long-term and the fixtures are tight in regards to midweek-Sunday, there is an expectation more provision will be required.
“That’s true at most clubs. The better you do the more rewards there are. There’s nobody here making any money. There are no directors taking money out the club. Everything made is reinvested. If we can achieve our objectives it will allow us to invest in the football side which can only be good for the short to medium-term.”
