He played on Sunday and also has a coaching role with us  which he's presumably giving up as well. 

I can't help but feel there's a lot more to this. 

The lot more to it bit is surely Berra's wage being able to stretch to two (or more?) players, being beneficial for the club if that allows you to get the depth in defence you couldn't while covering his wage?

Of course, it fucks you over if those signings aren't being made before Saturday.

We could debate this til the cows come home but we have a quote from Berra pretty much stating he's stepped down to allow the club to bring in additional players and take the club forward. I know I know, Berra isn't exactly going to come out and say "the managers a fud and we had a fawoot so am offski" but his statement on the official site is as much as we can go on. If true then fair fucks to the man, brave decision and all that and he might know himself it'll free up a hefty wage. If it is nonsense then hopefully the issue is more down to the fact that during pre season Berra has looked fairly average and realises himself that he's starting to toil and/or he's announced his 'retirement' knowing we have additional players lined up so it's not all as doom and gloom as being made out (however you'd think if that was the case he'd have stayed on as a coach). I'd have much rathered we announced a couple new centre backs along with the Berra retirement or even better announced some newbies and maybe told a wee white lie that he was injured and when the newbies are fully bedded in then said he was retiring.

If that is indeed the true story, the man will always be held in high esteem for being so unselfish

There is more to this that meets the eye but we will never know tho also suspicious how he’s also left his coaching role when announcing playing retirement

Maybe working for a Hibee was too much for him🤣🤣, all joking aside. He probably feels himself that his time as a player is up. He must command a hell of a wage if he’s prepared to walk away. If it’s true.

This is the part that makes me think it's budget related, we can't afford to sign the required players with Berra on the books as a player or coach. Would suggest that our financial situation is quite poor if that is the case.

Or simply more evidence that Sim has stitched up his pockets
