Whilst not directly related to Berwick, Whitehill have a new management team in place less than a week after we lost yano,makes you think how much goes on behind the scenes in these things

Perhaps he was being bulleted anyway as he has as much impact as Harvey at BR did upon appointment, in terms of results. Similar times of taking over, beoth barely won a game thereafter. The only LL game you won was against 10 men for most of it.

Is it too much to expect to hear something from our new management team? 

[Fergie1]

Valid point. I do feel JH pushed for the interviews after every game. Before his arrival away game interviews where non existent/rare and also no surprises player post match interviews stopped when JH arrived probably to prevent them from telling us how hopeless he was.

Got to be fair to little the squad he inherited  was abundantly obvious out of its depth in the lowland league but from day one his levels of enthusiasm and commitment looked very questionable, anyway that's gone now as far as Whitehill, I will look on with interest 

[berwicksfinest]

To be fair

They inherited the squad a few days ago, off arguably the worst manager in history. 

We previously been tanked 7- 1, 6-0 and 5-0 even 3-0 against Albion !! I call 2-0 away from home an improvement 

Who knows 0-0 is on the cards next

[surely not!]

Something JH could never allow anyone to accuses him of [emoji23]

My Sunday is rubbish now. No Johnny  harvey interview to look forward to.

i take the new management team are uninterested in brightening up our sundays ?

JH could give one anyway. Who cares if he is not the manager.

I suppose Michael Renwick was pish in a higher division.

Interesting to see that murrell has been instrumental in bonnyriggs play off games to get them into the lowland league. A standard of teams playing in it that will be no worse than cove probably. Why did Harvey let him go when we are so toothless going forward. Why was that arsehole so eager to make mass changes which could potentially destroy our club. Sorry a bit off track with that rant but had to get it of my chest when I look at the state we are in and look at how well the ones we let go are doing now, and what we replaced them with. Madness.

Murrell has put in some excellent displays since his arrival at Bonnyrigg. His movement off the ball and control on it can be excellent.

He also looks like he's enjoying his football which might well be making all the difference as I understand the problem at Berwick was more his attitude than ability.

Maybe that’s just highlights the massive difference in quality?

Not atall because the Bonnyrigg team for example is made up of a lot of ex Berwick boys who I would have back in a heartbeat over any player we have now. Would you have dean Brett back over your current right back?

That’s not really fair though as you’re utter garbage. It still doesn’t mean these players are near good enough for L2. Brett isn’t playing there on merit so your point doesn’t stand. Murrell wasn’t good at Cowden either.

Absolute nonsense. Most of the Bonnyrigg side would walk into your team aswell as ours. So you would have Brett over your current right back? You didn’t answer the question. 

[DutchBorderer]

Murrell never turned up when he played for us, but then I would most certainly have Brett on the team if given the opportunity.
