Mark McGhee is keeping what was said behind closed doors at Pittodrie following the 9-0 trashing by Celtic to himself. He had 'discussions' with the Aberdeen board following the game but continues to insist he is "comfortable'' with his position as manager. There are suggestions that he has been given tonight's game against Inverness to save his job. The former Aberdeen and Celtic striker admitted speaking to chairman Stewart Milne and director of football Willie Miller over the weekend but while he would not reveal where he believed those talks left him, he claimed to be relaxed about his situation. He said: "I'm not prepared to tell you what I believe. I have regular discussions with Stewart Milne and Willie and have since I came here, and they are the same as others - private and constructive. I can't tell you (what was said). I'm comfortable with the situation. I am focused on the game tomorrow night and I am comfortable with that. I'm a realist. I have been in the game a long time, I know how it works. However, I am still the manager this morning and it looks like, regardless of what anyone may say, I will be the manager for the Inverness match. So the most important thing for me is the Inverness game and that is a good thing. It allows me to focus on that and not on what everyone else is saying. There will be strong feelings about me and the team and the club. The fact is I'm still here, I will be taking the team tomorrow night and all I can say to the supporters is that we are hugely embarrassed by what happened on Saturday.'' |
