Dave Cormack told to speed up Aberdeen manager process as time will breed 'uncertainty' in players

Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack has been urged to appoint a new manager "as soon as possible" by a Dons legend.

Brian Irvine, a Scottish Cup winner with Aberdeen in 1990, wants the board to make a decision on a new boss as it could create "uncertainty" in the dressing room. The Pittodrie outfit have been without a permanent manager since sacking Jim Goodwin at the end of last month after they were thumped 6-0 at Easter Road. A number of managers have put their names forward but Aberdeen's Football Monitoring Board is yet to make an appointment.

Since taking over at Pittodrie, Cormack has failed in his first two managerial appointments with Stephen Glass and Goodwin sacked after less than a year in charge. Former Dons midfielder Barry Robson has taken interim charge in the dugout alongside experienced coach Steve Agnew. The pair were told earlier this week they will be in charge until the end of the month while the board draw up a shortlist of candidates.
