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.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."The circumstances which have put us on course to finishing outwith the top six have been mostly outwith my control."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."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."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."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."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." Scottish Premier League. Click here to bet.
