Berwick Obama

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.

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

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?

Might be worth putting a punt on Fergie1 being the recently defenestrated Emperor of the BRFC Twitter feed &/or close family members.

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?
