It is fair to say the appointment of Stephen Robinson has not been universally welcomed by the Dons support.
This search or "process" to find a new manager lasted over nine weeks and was led by a sporting director, Lutz Pfannenstiel, who has a global contacts book and was trusted to find the right candidate who could match the club's ambition to play high-press, attacking football.
So excuse me for not being enthused that after all this time we landed at the door of Robinson.
Had he been appointed shortly after Jimmy Thelin's departure there may not have been a similar outcry.
The board led with soundbites telling fans they would not be rushed, the appointment was important and if we needed to wait to the summer to fish in a bigger pond then so be it.
But Saturday's humiliation at Dunfermline has clearly triggered the football monitoring board to smash the glass and hit the panic button. This reeks of desperation to avoid a slide further down the league table.
I also feel sorry for Robinson. Given the sheer discontent and uproar it feels he has a tough job on his hands to win fans over. Given the level of performances the players have delivered this season that job was already hard enough.
Football is a fickle sport, so it is imperative he hits the ground running and delivers results. Failure to do so will add pressure to the summer and magnify the questions to the board.
Fans are angry, apathetic and even disillusioned with the club's powerbrokers for the abject failure to capitalise on the Scottish Cup success delivered in May.
While they have undoubtedly benefitted commercially, we have missed out on a huge opportunity on the pitch as we take a back seat watching with envy at Hearts and Motherwell challenging the Old Firm for the title.
Now Robinson has taken charge, we have no choice but to back the manager.
However, the fans deserve answers over the board's handling of the manager search along with how poorly this season has been handled from a playing perspective in terms of preparation and recruitment. It's safe to say the summer will bring a lot of comings and goings.
