And Thelin said: "Today my time as manager at Aberdeen comes to an end. "Results ultimately decide the tenure of this profession, and as such I take my share of responsibility. "I believe wholly in the work that was done; however, football doesn't always allow time for belief to become results. "However, after significant investment in recent windows, we have not kicked on in the way we hoped or expected following that success. "We have tried to give the situation as much time as possible, but recent performances have been significantly below the standards we expect, and we believe it is now right to take a different direction."
