IT'S just as well he was here, really. Even if he did say so himself.
Those were Neil Warnock's words right back at the start, when he waded into the middle of an unfolding drama at Aberdeen and began the task of turning it into a crisis.
It's not quite reached full-blown status yet.
And, yes, there was some unexpected light relief on Saturday lunchtime when Warnock actually managed to register a win against another top-flight club to claim a place in the Scottish Cup semi-finals.
That he announced his departure immediately after that victory over Kilmarnock was perfectly in keeping with the general climate of chaos which has been unleashed on the north-east ever since Dave 'Calamity' Cormack settled himself into the seat at the top of the boardroom table.
It has been an unrelenting case of one staggeringly catastrophic strategical misstep after the next over the course of Cormack's four-and-a-half years in charge.
The question now. however, is the most important of all as far as Cormack's credibility is concerned. Or, more accurately, whatever is left of it.
In time, will Warnock's monthlong misadventure be looked back upon fondly as peak Dave?
Or are things at Pittodrie about to get even more unhinged now Cormack has entered into a state of complete and utter panic with his club teetering on the brink of what could quickly become the biggest disaster of the lot?
For reasons known only to himself, Cormack must have been convinced Warnock was the man best qualified to ward off any threat of relegation from the Premiership when he put the 75-year-old in interim charge.
