Jim Goodwin faces a 24-hour sweat over his job as the Aberdeen powerbrokers meet to discuss his future. The Dons boss is fighting to stay in position after his team suffered yet more humiliation this season – being dumped out of the Scottish Cup by minnows Darvel on Monday night.
But Pittodrie chairman Dave Cormack and his board have yet to make a decision on their manager’s future - with high-level talks planned over the next 24 hours. Large sections of the Red Army have turned on their manager in recent weeks with the defeat at Darvel - the worst in the club’s history - the final straw for many.
Cormack and his fellow directors are well aware that results haven’t been good enough and there needs to be a dramatic improvement. They now have to decide whether or not Goodwin is the man to take them forward or it is time for change.
