Stephen Craigan

That would explain the hasty announcement of a replacement, where the rumors of Dave flying in unexpectedly to be true.

the final point that I'll add in regards to you know his sort of commitment to the cause I mean only a week ago I was up in Dingwall covering you know the Aberdeen B game in the KDM Evolution trophy and obviously you know these games can be quite you know sparsely attended only one stand open for it and obviously stuart duff and stephen craigan were in the dugout but you know the two representatives of of aberdeen football club uh you know as far as boardroom level were concerned were Alan Burrows and Willie Garner.

So, you know, for him to make the trip up to Dingwall for a game midweek in amongst a packed schedule, I felt was quite impressive in regards to, you know, I suppose rumours that he's spending a lot of time in the central belt and all the rest of it.

I just felt as if that was... quite a sure sign that he wanted to keep a hand on what was going on in the development side of our club.

It has to be said.

But the other thing, I suppose, If Robinson does go, does it mean Stephen Craigan becomes our caretaker? Because he's technically not part of the coaching staff, even though I know he's in the dugout, but that's not his role.

Again, I mean, speaking about this on Saturday, I feel so heart sorry for Stuart Duff.

Because Craigens came in and it feels like everything he'd worked towards in terms of trying to build the youth a platform to get into this Aberdeen squad has been absolutely turf to the side for Stephen Craigens to be this transition coach.
