Under-pressure Jim Goodwin admits he’s living on borrowed time and faces a major task in getting the Aberdeen fans and board back on side.
The struggling boss thanked the club’s directors for giving him another chance because he knows it would have been easy to sack him after Monday’s Scottish Cup fiasco at Darvel. Goodwin, who takes his team to Hibs on Saturday, has been given a short-term reprieve and he knows unless he starts to put wins on the board, he will pay the price.
The manager said: “I am grateful to the board of directors for giving me this opportunity on Saturday. It would have been easy to sack me, that would be the easy option. They’ve shown great belief in me in bringing me to the club in the first place and I’ve had great support from the board in order to make the kind of changes we have made behind the scenes and on the park.
“I’m grateful to them for giving me another chance to try and put things right.
“We are all in agreement that things need to change and change quickly. We have been on a poor run of results since the World Cup break.
“It is not acceptable for a squad of this quality and a club of this size to be on the run we are on There is no time limit put on this but there is a real onus on us turning things around quickly.
“Right now, as far as I’m concerned, for my situation it’s game by game. Simple as that.
“We have got to go to Easter Road and put on a performance that shows we want to make amends.”
Goodwin was brought in from St Mirren by chairman Dave Cormack in a six-figure deal almost 11 months ago. He failed to bring the ‘new manager bounce’ at the end of last season but his summer rebuild did look to be reaping rewards, when they went into the World Cup break in third.
