Jim Goodwin admits he’s firmly in the Aberdeen fans’ bad books and has some major making up to do after their Darvel disaster.
The Dons were dumped out of the Scottish Cup by the West of Scotland Premier Division outfit on Monday night, a result which left the Red Army raging and calling for Goodwin’s head. It looked like they were going to get their wish after the Pittodrie board convened on Wednesday to discuss the manager’s future, with the assumption being that his time was up.
But chairman Dave Cormack shocked everyone by announcing that Goodwin would be carrying on in the dugout, although left little to the imagination as to what the outcome would be should they lose against fellow strugglers Hibs on Saturday. Easter Road boss Lee Johnson is also feeling the heat after a 3-0 home defeat to Hearts saw them crash out of the cup, and the Premiership clash has already been dubbed 'El Sackico'.
