Stephen Robinson Sacked as Aberdeen Manager

The club have confirmed Stephen Robinson has departed the club following a poor start to the season.

Robinson joined the club near the end of last season, in order to steady the ship and avoid relegation which he had done, but this season hasn’t went to plan.

It’s been a very inconsistent season so far as the Dons sit 11th, just two points ahead of Kilmarnock with a trip to Ayrshire next in store for the Dons.

Aberdeen most recently suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Hibernian on Saturday, a week after being knocked out of the Scottish League Cup to Rangers at Hampden.

Pressure has been building on for former St Mirren manager with the Dons support showing their anger in their defeat last weekend.

Dave Cormack met with Robinson this afternoon to confirm his fate, as the damage has been done with Robinson’s eight month spell crashing down.

Robinson was faced with “you’re getting sacked in the morning” chats by the Aberdeen supporters on Saturday evening, as the fanbase shows their frustration.

After their 4-0 defeat, Robinson said: “I’ve got belief in my ability. You don’t have 500 games as a manager if you don’t.

“It’s a difficult situation, difficult at the moment for myself and the players and the club.

“But I will keep fighting until told otherwise.

“There’s no hiding away from it, it was an unacceptable performance and an unacceptable result.

“We have to be better than that. That’s not acceptable. I’m not trying to hide away from that.

“We have to get players that want to fightand try and get us out of this situation.

“Without winning football matches the belief is fragile. As soon as we went 2-0 down it didn’t look like we had a way back.

“As I said, I’m not hiding away from that. I keep fighting until somebody tells me otherwise. That’s the job.

“Ultimately the blame will fall on me no matter what and deservedly so at times. I’ll just keep fighting and working as hard as I possibly can.”
