Robinson: ‘I’ve decided who goes’ | Aberdeen vs Dundee United Press Conference "I don't make rash decisions anymore" - Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson on the looming summer rebuild, telling the press he's already decided which players he wants to keep at Pittodrie and which he wants to move on - but warning the fix won't come in one window.
Robinson is honest about the scale of the job: the squad problems Aberdeen have had this season "won't be fixed in one window. It may take two, maybe three windows before we can fix everything."
