Under-pressure Jim Goodwin insists he has the full backing of Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack – despite Wednesday night’s Tynecastle humiliation.
The Dons boss and his players have been left in the firing line for a disastrous run of results, with the latest a 5-0 capitulation to Hearts. Goodwin has been in constant dialogue with chairman Cormack and met him to discuss strengthening the squad and getting the Dons out of their predicament.
When asked about dialogue with Cormack, Goodwin said: “Yes. We have been back and forth on WhatsApp. He’s here in the UK and he’ll be popping into the training ground after this so we’ll have a catch-up. It’s very much full steam ahead as far as we’re concerned – myself, the director of football (Steve Gunn), the chairman, the staff and the players. We recognise a result like last night is not acceptable for a club of this size and we all take responsibility with that. Together and with hard work we can get it sorted.”
