McGhee: Dons problems not my fault
The Dons look set to miss out on a top-six spot and also crashed out of the Scottish Cup to Raith Rovers last month, with McGhee having won just eight of his 34 competitive games in charge.[LNB]The Pittodrie boss, who has been forced to work on a shoestring budget since his appointment last summer, said: "It would be grossly unfair if my position was in any danger.[LNB]"The circumstances which have put us on course to finishing outwith the top six have been mostly outwith my control.[LNB]"My brief when I arrived was to stack the squad with young players and bring about change over a prolonged period. That includes bringing in new players and changing the mentality of some of those already here.[LNB]"The directors know what was said and what is going on behind the scenes in an effort to to make sure things are a lot better next season.[LNB]"I can't legislate for the possibility of the directors now deciding that what has happened since then is unacceptable. I can only be honest and say I feel I've done what has been asked and believe what I am doing will bring benefits in the long term.[LNB]"There is no chance of me walking away, though. I still don't believe I have become a bad manager. If anything, it has made me even more determined to gain success with Aberdeen.[LNB]"But I will prove that the people who showed faith in my ability to be a successful Aberdeen manager were right. And I will prove to those who are criticising me - claiming I am not up to the job - are wrong."[LNB][LNB] Scottish Premier League. Click here to bet.
