Definitely didn't see that coming. Big loss given the exodus of defenders who have already parted Rovers in the summer.
Your remaining centre halves are likely better than Mark Reynolds and Morgyn Neill if that's any consolation. That and you must have someone lined up before he throws the towel in like that 

We don't have ANY centre half's on the books.

Adam Masson, CH…just saying

Tx will be happy, Liam Dick at cb with Adam Masson on Saturday, it’s the stuff of dreams for him, honestly thou this is peak rovers, they must be writing a book how to self destruct a football club in 6 months 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

Too bad it’ll be Dick and Brown…but Young should get to play…now Mitchell over Zanatta and Arnott for Stanton, please.

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
