The Pittodrie board demanded an “immediate response” to the club’s worst ever defeat to sixth-tier Darvel on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nInstead, Goodwin’s side were blown away by an equally faltering Hibs, taking Aberdeen’s recent run to one win in 10.<\/span><\/p>\nThe announcement came just 19 minutes after full-time.<\/span><\/p>\nGoodwin, 41, was appointed on 19 February last year.<\/span><\/p>\n“Jim is a good man, has given it everything here. I met him right after the game and he came up and gave me a hug and simply said, ‘I know, Dave, it’s just not good enough’,” emotional Aberdeen chairman Dave Cormack told BBC Scotland. <\/span><\/p>\n“So we part company for obvious reasons. Since coming back from the World Cup our away form has been abysmal, our form at home has been pretty decent. I think some of the players also need to take responsibility. As a Dons fan, I’m 64 now, been going there for close to 60 years, I take responsibility. I am the chairman of the club and I have overseen on the football side the changes we have made.<\/span><\/p>\n“Like the fans, I felt quite humiliated today and I’m sorry – they were brilliant today. I am quite emotional about the club. It means everything to me. It’s our home city. I have been gone for a long time. I am rightly taking the pelters. I deserve it but I am determined to get it right.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/span>Dave Cormack ‘shocked, embarrassed and humiliated’ by Aberdeen results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nEarlier this month, Aberdeen also lost a League Cup semi-final to Rangers in extra time and suffered a 5-0 league thrashing by Hearts.<\/span><\/p>\nLosing to part-time West of Scotland League Premier Division leaders Darvel is generally regarded as the biggest shock in Scottish Cup history given five tiers separate the sides.<\/span><\/p>\nAberdeen’s worst-ever result comes as the club start the 40th anniversary year of their greatest triumph – the European Cup Winners’ Cup final win over Real Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\nThe Pittodrie club have now sacked their last two managers shortly before they completed a year in post.<\/span><\/p>\nGoodwin had been recruited on a two-and-a-half-year contract from top-flight rivals St Mirren to replace Stephen Glass, who was dismissed in February, 11 months after succeeding Derek McInnes, who spent eight years in charge.<\/span><\/p>\nGoodwin, who started his playing career with Celtic before spells with Stockport County, Scunthorpe United, Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic, Hamilton Academical and St Mirren, started his managerial career on a high by leading Alloa Athletic to promotion from Scotland’s League 1.<\/span><\/p>\nHe returned to St Mirren, who were two places above Aberdeen at the time the Pittodrie club made their move to appoint him as manager.<\/span><\/p>\n[ad_2]Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[ad_1] Jim Goodwin is seen leaving Easter Road just minutes after exiting his post as Aberdeen manager Aberdeen have parted company with manager Jim Goodwin just minutes after Saturday’s 6-0 … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24674,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24673"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/24674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fusefornews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
