""I don't think like that, it is not my job, my job is to get the team going and that is where my focus is," he told BBC Scotland. "The frustration is there, I understand that, I respect that but I am not thinking about my job, it is not my call. I am thinking about what I can do here and doing the best I can. "You never give in, you always want to fight. If you believe in something really strongly and can be consistent with this then things turn around, but we have to change tomorrow, not in one more week or in another game.""
"It is incredible to think that there would be any questions about the future of a man who led Aberdeen to Scottish Cup glory just four months ago. Despite that success, Thelin has presided over some alarming league form since he arrived at Pittodrie last summer. After an encouraging first few months in charge, Aberdeen's league form has fallen off a cliff. They have won just five times in the 31 Premiership matches they have played since early November last year. Thelin doesn't like to mix the two seasons when asked to assess his team, but the fact that there has been no tangible improvement so far this term despite being heavily backed by the Pittodrie board during the summer transfer window has got alarm bells ringing"
Aberdeen crashed out of the Premier Sports Cup at home to Motherwell after Regan Charles Cook scored in the second half at Pittodrie. The team have failed to win or score in any of their opening four Scottish Premiership matches. Fans booed at full-time as pressure on manager Jimmy Thelin increased. Thelin said he is focused on getting the team going and that job security is not his decision. He urged immediate change and consistency to reverse form. Aberdeen have won only five of 31 Premiership matches since early November and showed alarming league decline despite summer transfer backing.
