Aberdeen sack Robinson after league slump

The phrase rinse and repeat may apply to hair washing, but these days it also applies to Aberdeen's recruitment of managers.

While no-one can fault the commitment chairman Dave Cormack has shown to the club during his tenure, the managerial success rate under his stewardship is low - and that is probably putting a positive spin on things.

For the Dons, this procedure feels like a movie that has had a number of disappointing sequels.

Barring last year's Scottish Cup win, there has been a general downward trajectory in fortunes for Aberdeen. Undoubtedly, the constant chopping and changing has been a huge factor.
