IT is never nice to see a manager lose their job. Well, actually, that’s not strictly true. When you are a fan of a club who is in dire straits, as uncharitable and wholly immature as it may seem, joy and relief can be found in the misery of a fellow human being taking receipt of their jotters.
That’s just football, and Jim Goodwin is big enough and, well, handsome enough to know it only too well. If such a fate is to befall him shortly, his dismissal will be the cause of celebration among some Aberdeen supporters. Perhaps the majority.
In fact, even he is probably surprised the axe didn’t fall in the immediate aftermath of his side’s humiliating Scottish Cup exit to Darvel on Monday night.
