"BBC Scotland understands Motherwell manager Craig Brown is likely to take up the vacant managerial position at Aberdeen".

Who's pan?

Hopefully this thaw kicks in over the next 3 days. In saying that it is meant to Snaw on Monday

Sod that. They want Brown and Know we'll take the experience one step further. Who's for helping me dig up Matt Busby and Bill Shankly? Oh, was that the sound of Willie Miller sprinting to his gairden shed I just heard?

4) I'm sure I had a crate of wine in the kitchen last night.

One man that probably finds all this very amusing.

He'll be lining up Aberdeen's next manager.

Nae way Broon would be sniffing aboot The Kabin. He'd be trying to rattle wan o the birds in the Rovers. Oh, baith!

Not that. Couldn't care less about that. Always thought it was quite funny he was open about being an Accies fan. An Accies fan who will need them to get relegated now right enough I had to suspend my disbelief for a lot of things he said in pre and post match interviews re: his opposite number, team, chairman, and so on. Now I won't need to bother.

Auld age is a killer

If he stays he will have lost some for good (I include myself here), some until (if) we climb the table, whilst others will forget instantly. We have had a wee blip recently and I'm wondering if Brown thinks now is the right time to get out. Reputation at its peak. If he stays till the end of the season, we lose a few to injuries etc. and we have a 6th placed finish or below then his rep has taken a wee hit. If he WAS offered Hibs I'm amazed he never took that job. Would rather he had went there as well to be honest.

IF this IS the case then it is just yet another porkie from CB.

As an Aberdeen fan posted on one of their forums; What's the point? He'll be drinking out of his shoes and talking to invisible ducks in two years time.

Yeah me as well but I'd rather we weren't his first club. Would like to see him gain experience at a lower level first. Obviously didn't work for Leitch mind.

Time heals

If the appointment of Brown and Knox has shown us anything it is experience is essential. Craigan and Young is a gamble I don't wish to see the Club take.

......and in turn publically committed himself to Motherwell FC, hence the 'Club Statement' on the official site.

Been my thinking for the last 48 hours.

As long as it is NOT Mark McGhee or Scott Leitch.

Everyone knows this is rubbish. It is a way of speaking to Brown/Knox, offering them the job, and if they knock it back the guy that DOES get it, doesn't get hit with the 'second choice' tag. Saturday's game being postponed is a blessing now imo.

Brown said earlier today he doubts he would go without Knox. However, I wouldn't necesarily believe that now. I'm telling ye, I would not be surprised if Mark McGhee is back here by Tuesday.

I thought my screaming hate of Aberdeen was gonna chill for a bit!! Cranked up that wee bit more now. The atmosphere of the game next Saturday is going to be MENTAL.

Oops meant new Aberdeen manager. Really, really, lost all respect for him now.

Money for players in January to change squad. Brown has agreed or just about to agree to become new Motherwell manager. Will be confirmed by 8pm apparently. Talk of McGhee returning already.

Chick Young reports Craig Brown is virtually the new Aberdeen manager. Just came in.
