Aberdeen are reportedly set to part ways with manager Stephen Robinson following Saturday's 4-0 defeat to Hibernian, according to the Scottish Sun. The club's patience with the former St Mirren boss has run out after a string of poor results.
Robinson was appointed in March after Jimmy Thelin left the club. After steering the Dons to safety, he was tasked with overseeing a major summer squad overhaul, but the season has unravelled since.
Poor run of form
Aberdeen have lost each of their last four matches, exiting the Premier Sports Cup to Rangers and dropping to 11th in the league after the heavy loss to Hibs. The team have won just three of their 12 league games this season and sit only two points clear of bottom side Kilmarnock.
During the Hibs match, Robinson appeared dejected on the touchline but said afterwards he would continue until chairman Dave Cormack decided otherwise. Reports initially suggested the board would take time over a decision, but it is now claimed that is not the case.
Fan reaction and next steps
Aberdeen supporters directed chants of 'sacked in the morning' at the manager during the game. With the threat of relegation a real possibility, the club appears ready to act imminently.
