McGhee: Clear-out key to success

28 March 2010 11:46
Saturday's victory over St Mirren eased the mounting pressure on McGhee, who had overseen an 11-match winless run beforehand.[LNB]He insists the financial constraints he is working under mean there are mitigating circumstances for the Dons slumping to eighth in the table.[LNB]But McGhee, who recently revealed as many as 10 players could leave Pittodrie this summer, acknowledges the buck will stop with him if the club find themselves in a similar position this time next year.[LNB]"I got the sack at Wolves, got the sack at Millwall, got the sack at Brighton - it's something managers get," McGhee told Scotland on Sunday.[LNB]"Now, in those circumstances, I got it after being successful first and then things changed and I had no problem with that.[LNB]"Were I to get the sack now, what can I do about it? What? I'd think, 'What was my part in that?' I'd find things, sure. Could have done this, could have done that. But, really, it's out of my hands. I don't have any fear that the board will buckle, but if it happens, it happens.[LNB]"I know for sure that in a year's time, if I've made the changes I want to make and the results are the same then I'll be down the road and I'll deserve it.[LNB]"No problems with that at all. But let's make the changes first."[LNB]Former Dons striker McGhee, who was appointed last summer, added: "I don't have any regrets about taking this job. I've been frustrated by the way it's gone. I won't argue that it's not as good as I hoped it would be. I'm culpable as well. I'm not going to fudge that one. I know I've got to prove myself and that's what I'm in the process of doing."[LNB][LNB]
