Tomorrow’s match against Celtic could be Craig Brown’s final act as a football manager.
The 72-year-old has announced that he will retire at the end of the season but will step down straight away if a successor is found.
Aberdeen look like finishing in the bottom half of the season despite the goals of Niall McGinn giving hope of sustaining a challenge for a European spot.
A string of disappointing home results have left fans frustrated with Brown set to take a place in the Pittodrie boardroom when he steps down.
Derek Adams, Derek McInnes and Craig Levein have been linked with the job with Brown now involved in the process of finding his replacement.
“I don’t think there is anyone sitting there ready to come in,” Brown said. “That’s my feeling, but I was only offered the job on the board on Wednesday so I haven’t spoken with the others to discuss a replacement.
“No-one has asked my opinion about potential candidates but I’ve already had text messages from managers, both in and out of work, and from agents inquiring about the job.
“When I offered my resignation, I didn’t think I was going to be asked on to the board. So, to be honest, I wasn’t caring who was going to come in next. Now I’m really interested, because I’m involved in the club. It was a difficult decision to step down, but I think it was the appropriate time to give the club the opportunity to find a successor.”

Hope we put 5 past them then,never liked him.
I don’t like him either wee fat zombie HH
Hopefully he leaves with a heavy defeat can see Celtic turn it on tomorrow. Lenny says he’s had it out with the ‘ superstars ‘ so with any luck they will show us there still up for it early goal 5-0 Mon the hoops HH
No doubt we will be treated to a typical Craig Brown performance, trying to avoid defeat rather than trying to win.
Built his career on such foundations which re-inforces why Scottish football is in such a sorry state. Offers very little when giving tactical analysis on TV which again shows his lack of imagination. Droning on about no easy games at International level, stating it is above CL standard LOL Clearly not watched Faroes, San Marino et al.
Goodbye Craigy…you won’t be missed, least by Aberdeen fans I suspect.
Good riddance! Closet hun who was quick to put the boot into Lenny via the msm and giving credance to the “he brings it on himself” shite that was spouted by every hun
Browns a skidmark in the underpants of scottish fitba! Smell ya later
He likes a wee song ad well apparently….he doesn’t have a bad word to say about anybody,I don’t trust people like that….sleekit Noel Hunt! HH!
Craig Brown creeps me out.
A bigot and an Establishment Parasite, good riddance.
