Rory Loy believes Neil Warnock has been "a disaster" for Aberdeen so far - and that the veteran manager may have bitten off more than he can chew.

The 75-year-old, who joined as interim manager in January, has seen his side take just two points from his five games in charge.

And following their home defeat to St Johnstone in midweek, BBC Scotland pundit Loy thinks the veteran Englishman may not have taken Aberdeen's position seriously when he joined.

"It's been a disaster," he told the BBC Scottish Football Podcast.

"Listening to Neil Warnock, he's either been told the wrong information by the club when he's spoken to them or he completely misunderstood the remit.

"I think the clubs he's been at previously, he's been told you need to go in and keep us in the league. That, in my opinion, shouldn't have been and wouldn't have been the remit at Aberdeen.

"It has been shambolic from day one. I covered the game down at Rugby Park a couple of weeks ago. He was saying how Kilmarnock were favourites.

"It doesn't matter what the league table says. With a squad like Aberdeen have got, they should be going to Kilmarnock and, within their own dressing room at the very, very least, should be expecting to win.

"From listening to him and watching Aberdeen a couple of times, I don't think he's taking the job seriously enough. And I think he's now realising, right, I think I've bitten off more than I can chew here."
