"For me, he was a candidate right from the start, hiding in plain sight. I think it'll be a surprise to most observers - fans included - that it has taken so long to identify someone that's right under your nose. If Stephen Robinson accepts the offer then, it's a positive move."
"Atrocious. Furious, I can't defend them anymore. We're in trouble. Unusually blunt words post-match from any manager but who could blame him? Every time there's been a glimmer that Aberdeen might be on a path to take something positive from a season of disappointment, they have badly stumbled."
Aberdeen has moved to appoint St Mirren manager Stephen Robinson as their new permanent manager following a 16-month period of poor performance. The Scottish Cup exit to Dunfermline on Saturday represented the latest disappointment in a consistent downward trajectory. Despite initial plans to conduct a thorough summer search, Aberdeen accelerated their decision-making process under sporting director Lutz Pfannenstiel's influence. Robinson was identified as a candidate from the start but remained overlooked until circumstances forced urgent action. The club currently sits eighth in the Premiership with eight wins from 29 league games, having exited the League Cup and experienced a disappointing Conference League campaign. Interim manager Peter Leven expressed frustration after the cup defeat, indicating the severity of Aberdeen's situation.
