The Barry Robson conundrum facing Aberdeen board as 14 players set for uncertain futures ahead of summer overhaul

It's been almost eight weeks' since Aberdeen pulled the trigger on Jim Goodwin's disastrous tenure but there has yet to be any indicator of who will replace him permanently in the Pittodrie dugout.

Under 18s boss Barry Robson has been given the reins on an interim basis, alongside experienced assistant Steve Agnew and Scott Anderson. They’ve got Aberdeen right back in the mix for third place and European qualification, with last Saturday's victory over Hearts putting them within just four points of the Gorgie side.

And with four wins from six games in charge, it leaves the Football Monitoring Board and new CEO Alan Burrows with a huge decision on their hands. Will they stick with what's going well and appoint Robson, or will they opt for experience with Ricardo Rodriquez, Steve Clarke and Geir Bakke among the names that have been floated as potential successors. Burrows teased an appointment "sooner rather than later" during a RED TV interview on March 2 but nothing has come to fruition.
