    Berwick Rangers 2018/2019 Thread

    I try very hard to let the flow of Pie and Bovril wash over me, as too often comments can be economical with the truth or just plain way off the mark, but on this occasion I'm going to challenge your outright lies, and question why, in recent weeks, there appears to have been a very deliberate attempt to discredit me as a potential Chairman before I've even taken up the post.
    I've put forward a model for the future which works towards a sustainable club based on many more people/businesses each making a small contribution. The aim is to 'wash our face' as a Club, as an organisation losing money each year is a poor option for inward investment and is a soft target for investors with less than honourable intentions. If an investment only goes towards reducing losses for a year, then little remains to actually improve matters, be it team or facilities.
    Maybe that's not the model that some people want, but to plant this kind of nonsense doesn't improve the situation at all.
     
     
     
     
    I'm alarmed that this post doesn't deny that Johnny Harvey will return.

    Bob Wilson has his faults but IMHO the team are weaker without him. A do or die match and the  “ captain “ of the club is not even in the squad ? I hope there is a genuine reason for this and not another falling out with an honest player. If there is one player Berwick could do with in their team In the play offs against Cove or EK it’s Bob Wilson

    Here I go, I've got to get this off my chest.
    I'm no Johnny Harvey  but I do actually feel sorry for him a wee bit, just a wee bit!
    Clearly, he is out of his depth, but he was offered the job and took it, who wouldn't, when a chance appears to springboard you into league football, after managing in the lower leagues.
    Lets face it he's got no tactics, no contacts, and no idea, but that's not all his fault.
    JH obviously sold himself well, when he was interviewed for the job - BRFC or rather the incoming chairman fell for it hook, line and sinker (sinker, that's a word to haunt us!) 
    In reality, yes, JH has got everything woefully wrong, his players are not performing, his tactics are non existent, but week in week out he's put in front of the cameras to defend himself and his team, he gets slaughtered, most of the time and rightly so, but he's just a young lad trying to make his way in the game, this time it hasn't worked out, but he might go on to better things, after all he's only human.
    Regardless of the results and the fact that the man is out of his depth, he's been hung out to dry and left on his own by the hierarchy of the football club, like him or loath him, nobody deserves that, the hierarchy should have been helping him through this period, giving him any support he required.  When  the team starting losing constantly, they should have acted quickly to rectify the problem, even if that meant sacking JH, instead they left the situation  to fester until we are where we are today.
    Basically, we have little hope of surviving this debacle, I can't see us overturning Albion tomorrow, therefore it will be the play-offs, EK or Cove have the best opportunity they have had for a long time to get into the league system, sadly, I don't think we can raise our game to beat anyone at the moment, hopefully I will be proved wrong though.
    Look through the glass windows of the directors box tomorrow, there you will see the real faces of those who may have cost the town their football league club; President Hush, Chairman Eyre, Vice Chairman and future Chairman Bell, Directors McLaren , Parkin, Beresford and Exley, but don't forget the ones who won't be there, the members of the attempted coup; Hamilton, Graham Bell, Tait, Hood and that nutter who was on the Council Watkin. I've deliberately not mentioned Matthewson as he could potentially be good for the club in the longer term if we have any hope of resurrecting ourselves. 
    Where will we end up, ahaha, I hear you say ' the new stadium' the pipe dream of the incoming chairman, this will be good, no team and a £5 million white elephant, get real!
    What about the hierarchy; Saturday night they will be out on the town telling anyone who will listen that the situation is not their fault, it's the towns fault for not supporting the team or local businesses fault for not sponsoring the team, or JH 's fault because he is shite, maybe if they hadn't had to deal with the coup they could have turned things around, regardless the buck stops with them, if only one good thig comes out of this situation, it will be the end of the road for the prawn sandwich brigade, no more free football on Saturdays, drinks in the boardroom, no more jobs for the directors own businesses, paid out of club coffers, its over, well and truly over! - 138 years of history down the pan, will the current hierarchy stand up and take a bow, then put the light off on the way out.
    I've no sympathy for him whatsoever. He knows hes out of his depth and should have done the right thing and stepped down months ago.
