A year is a very long time in football. Especially for a manager.
Just ask Jim Goodwin. The former Saints boss sailed up to Pittodrie with the wind in his sails last year but less than 12 months later has found himself looking for work after a dismal spell in charge of the Dons.
Goodwin’s stock had risen and risen after excellent spells at Alloa Athletic and St Mirren, but now he has to contend with the first black mark on his CV.
