Aberdeen fans react to Jim Goodwin news as Dave Cormack slammed for 'weak leadership'

Aberdeen fans have reacted angrily to Dave Cormack giving Jim Goodwin one last chance to turn round his fortunes at Pittodrie.

The chairman announced earlier this evening that the Irishman would remain in the dugout despite being knocked out the Scottish Cup at the fourth round stage by West of Scotland junior side Darvel on Monday. Many supporters called for Goodwin's head after the 5-0 thrashing against Hearts last week, however he survived that and the humiliation in Ayrshire earlier this week.

A board meeting took place this afternoon where the future of the 41-year-old was a key topic of debate but he is set to carry on in his role and will take charge of Saturday's trip to Hibernian. Cormack revealed the "football monitoring board, comprising Stewart Milne, Willie Garner, Steven Gunn and me" decided it was right that Goodwin be given a chance reverse the slump after the World Cup break.
