"I've been linked with every job in Scotland, England, Ireland. I've been in the game a long, long time now, so you just get used to getting linked with stuff. I can't control what people say. It's nice that people think you should be linked with that there. I've got a big enough job to concentrate on Tuesday night than concentrating on anybody else and what you also have to remember is somebody's lost their job, which is horrible."
"Aberdeen are searching for a new manager after they sacked Jimmy Thelin on Sunday, following a five-match winless run that leaves them eighth in Scotland's top flight. Robinson, 51, has guided St Mirren to three consecutive top-six finishes in the Premiership and beat Celtic at Hampden in December to win the Premier Sports Cup, their first major trophy since 2013. He is the early favourite to replace Thelin at Pittodrie, but says he is totally used to speculation taking him away from Paisley."
Robinson, 51, is linked as the early favourite for Aberdeen's vacant managerial position while maintaining focus on St Mirren's Scottish Premiership trip to Livingston. Robinson guided St Mirren to three consecutive top-six Premiership finishes and led the club to the Premier Sports Cup victory over Celtic at Hampden, their first major trophy since 2013. Aberdeen dismissed Jimmy Thelin after a five-match winless run that left them eighth in the league. Robinson reports frequent speculation during his long career and describes himself as accustomed to such links. Robinson emphasizes concentrating on his current responsibilities at St Mirren and notes the harsh reality for managers who lose their jobs.
