The former Motherwell, Wolves and Leicester manager’s time was up after a run of six consecutive SPL defeats, including a record 9-0 hammering at Celtic on November 6, which sent the Dons plummeting to second-bottom of the SPL.
McGhee survived the aftermath of the Parkhead humiliation, but the required turnaround failed to materialise and the Dons fell to further defeats against St Johnstone, Caley Thistle and Kilmarnock.
Pittodrie chairman Stewart Milne was left with no option but to dismiss another manager with McGhee having won just once in the last 13 league matches and just 17 of his 62 games in charge.
Why now?
Just because the Tim game was called off?
Surely just because they have a week to get someone on board isn't the excuse? Surely they'd have compiled a shortlist or sounded out a few options regardless of whether they thought he was going or not? Surely you don't jump into a situation like this with a ticking clock of one week?
If the Tim game was still on would he still be here if we drew or somehow fluked a win?
Surely the bold text above were the final straw so why on Wednesday night more or less out of the blue (all things considered)?
Why sack him now?
