Aberdeen chief Dave Cormack has stated his side would support temporary reconstruction to help Hearts, Partick Thistle and Stranraer.
The Dons chairman, however, has made it clear that it is not the right time, amid the COVID-19 crisis, to seek permanent change.
Cormack was part of the Premiership group who voted down reconstruction earlier this month but Tynecastle chairwoman Ann Budge is making one final push for a resolution.
He confirmed: “To Dons fans that from day one we have always been for temporary reconstruction to be fair to Hearts, Partick and Stranraer and we are open to permanent reconstruction talks but not during a major crisis.
“We don’t even know who might be able to play next season!”
The Atlanta-based chief has always dismissed permanent reconstruction in the current climate and has been frank over the difficulty making the right call.
Cormack confirmed: “For me, the league reconstruction stuff right now is a bit like moving the deckchairs on the Titanic when it’s going down.”
If the status quo is to remain for this season then it means then the pyramid system will remain closed off. Cormack believes that is wrong and it should be for ambitious clubs, with League Two champions Cove Rangers the perfect example of what can be achieved.
Cormack, speaking on Twitter, asked: “What about Kelty Hearts and Brora Rangers? If we want competition and to encourage investment, a real pyramid system would have two teams relegated from Division 2.
“Just look at what Cove has brought to the league.
“They are a great team, forward thinking board, and a new stadium.”
