Incidentally, when are Walla & Lenny unveiling their “BRFC: a future vision” at The Rob Roy?

Go away and boil your face in a pan of welks, you'll be a trust member, one of those who thinks you actually own the majority of the club and wants to own the rest, let me guess, your a follower and a mate of your great leader John, the man who appointed JH and kept him in work even when we were getting stuffed week in week out, shipping goals by the bucket load.
I have shares that are now worth nothing, I bought them to support my local club as my father did before me, I trusted that the regime would do what others have done for nearly 140 years, that is to preserve league football in the town, I also buy my season ticket, that in my mind allows me to be critical of the people I see as responsible.
I have seen utter pish for weeks, why it took the board until the last game before the playoffs to fire JH, is a mystery, they must have realised as early as January/ February that we were heading for trouble, mistakenly they thought Albion were worse than us and we would finish second bottom, the Clyde decision went against us and Albion moved to address their form, won a few games and hey-presto we were f**ked.
Now we have a 67 years old ex player who has done SFA for years alongside a former manager who has an equally pish record this season with WW, to be fair to them, they can only work with what the have in front of them, which is a disinterested team who easily concedes goals and cannot score themselves, the stats from Saturday of 21 Shots to 2 says it all.
I will therefore continue to criticise the current board, the coup members, the ST and the SC at every opportunity, until there is a complete regime change. like many supporters, I will not be paying to watch LL football next season, but I will eat my words and bare my arse on Stoddart's corner if its 5-0 nil on Saturday.
Your shares were always worth the square root of f**k all, the same as mine and everyone elses’s who Bought some. It’s a financial donation to the football club with zero expectation of a financial return. Did your adviser not explain that to you or were you too busy wiping the drool off your keyboard?
You’ve given everyone connected with the club some heat on here, much of it with some justification.
What’s your plan to get us out of the mess, and apart from the er, alleged Rowan consortium, who are these mystery investors?

Some questions about the rumoured investment:
(1) Is The Rowan consortium composed entirely of Freemasons?
(2) If you don’t know the handshake, can you still get into the boardroom?
(3) Will there be goats?
(4) How do people feel about the prospect of a mason-majority board?

I am a casual viewer if P&B and enjoy using it to keep up with well informed news and insights from the fans in the lower Scottish leagues. I do not follow a team as I have always played therefore not had the opportunity and in turn do not post on here.
However, I just had to set up an account to say that Fergie1 is the clearest example of a former player that has a grudge against the Berwick Manger, Jonny Harvey. I find it incredibly sad that he is utilising this forum trying to make himself out as a Berwick fan - which you are not. Funny how your account was only made live Jan this year and almost all your posts have been personal or about Mr Harvey.....the timeline suggests you are maybe an ex Berwick player who was released this season and most likely from the Edinburgh area - how else would you know so many intimate details about the Berwick manager? It is quite sad TBH.
I really like Berwick and hope you pick up some results over the next 3 week's and stay in the league. The fans and club are excellent down there and there is a good history - which would be a huge loss to Scottish football. Anyway, I will keep a keen eye on your scores over the next 3 weekends.
Fergie1....away and concentrate on the finding another club and stop embarrassing yourself.
Cheers.
Might be worth putting a punt on Fergie1 being the recently defenestrated Emperor of the BRFC Twitter feed &/or close family members.

You put it like he chose Edinburgh over Berwick because we’re not fashionable or something. The reason Edinburgh can offer more money is because they are a lot more ambitious behind the scenes than what we are.
They have a well-heeled backer, and they pay a fraction for the use of Ainslie Park that we pay NCC for our full maintenance lease at Shielfield. This is an issue that the chairman-elect is looking to address. So I don’t buy into your desperate crusade to portray opposing teams as more ambitious or better run. Most teams have oscillated between dismal clusterfuck & the best thing since sliced bread over a period. We’re on our uppers and in a potentially dangerous place right now, but the last thing we need is doom-mongers like you talking the club down at every opportunity. That’s one of the reasons the place feels better for a whiny look-at-me getting hoisted after his napoleon complex went nuclear.

For context, doesn’t the sacked twitter god also go by the name of Yellow Feet on here?

No, there’s no protecting a “Bell vision” or any other kind of vision here. The club needs to start again from ground zero. Practically, I’m not sure how easy that would be but it needs new people at the helm and yes, a new structure for both ownership and governance. What it doesn’t need is more wannabe sugar daddies or people who fancy a Saturday afternoon in the boardroom with their mates. Maybe it is time for a younger generation to take over. There are plenty of able people out there. Why aren’t they stepping up to the plate? They’ve got a low benchmark to beat, and it might just work.
As for Dom, he’s precisely the kind of person I wouldn’t want to see involved. Ego would trump the club’s best interests. Our predicament has no room for that.
Like most Berwick supporters I thought that, at the time, the Harvey appointment was a good one, just like the Horn appointment. Both have proven to be disastrous. But let’s nail the myth that appointing Harvey and retaining him long after he should have been shown the door was the chairman-elects’ responsibility. It wasn’t - it was a board decision and they share collective responsibility for those decisions just as they did when the club won the league. That’s one of the many reasons we need a handover to an entirely new board. But it can’t be blind - there has to be due diligence done on whoever takes over and shareholders need to be confident the people running the club can implement the kind of radical change needed to turn the club around. None of this will be easy.
