Skip back two posts, to the one headed ‘Hands off!!!’ and read the last sentence. Once you have, you’ll realise why I’m not surprised to have learned that 70-year-old (as he hates to be called) Craig Brown has resigned as manager of Motherwell FC, and seems about to accept the task of leading Aberdeen out of the SPL. I take this as renewed proof of a theory of mine that football management is about ego, far more so than money or anything else. It is also incontrovertible verification of one of life’s great maxims, that there is no  fool like an old fool.
