Barry Robson shows Aberdeen ruthless streak as he reveals it was HIS call to let Anthony Stewart leave

Barry Robson confirmed that it was his decision to send Aberdeen captain Anthony Stewart on-loan.

The stand-in boss confirmed he had told the skipper he wasn’t going to play under him. Stewart was sent out on-loan to MK Dons and Robson insisted he won’t be afraid to make big decisions while he is in the Pittodrie hot seat.

Robson said: “It was a decision I made. I didn’t think Anthony would feature in the team and I spoke to him openly and what a terrific man. I said if I was his age I wouldn’t want to sit on the bench. I think he has qualities that would add to another team. I treated him the way I would have wanted to be treated as a player.
