BBC Scotland examines whether Neil Warnock's departure points to more disarray at Aberdeen or if they are making the right move.
A "club in chaos" or doing the "right thing" - where are Aberdeen after their latest bombshell announcement?
Warnock was only appointed last month, but he still feels now is the "right time" go. He said he came in with the hope of trying to "steady the ship" at Pittodrie. Until Saturday, the ship was sinking. His reign started with a narrow defeat at Ibrox and that was followed by a Scottish Cup last-16 victory over fourth-tier Bonnyrigg Rose.
"They have already got rid of three managers since Derek McInnes left and now they have got rid of an interim," said Sportsound pundit Michael Stewart.
