    This isn’t quite right. Bernard is definitely at fault - he’s neglected the club and run it into the ground over the last 9 years as he’s clueless. But instead he’d handed full control to a delusional Australian agent (Chris Tanner) who insulted half the NE non league community on Twitter, got through several club secretaries, and was purely focused on making money out of the club. In 13 games at Step 7 they’d conceded 128 goals. Bernard was finally forced to act when national press took notice of Tanner’s online behaviour and the results after fan pressure.

     

    There is no endgame for Bernard. He’s got no interest, but won’t give up the club for free after investing in the past. He’s now resurrected a previous committee (who do care), presumably in the hope it’ll magically turn around. It won’t until he cuts his losses and let’s someone who cares take charge.


    In the meantime, the club have been reprieved by the Wearside League on the understanding Bernard repays the 2k debt to Willington, and the new (old) committee will try to rebuild from scratch. Tanner is now trying to sell all the club strips, tracksuits and kit online as he claims it belongs to him… 

     

     

     

    Ah I see, both in the wrong then (one more than the other) - I was only aware of bits and bobs occasionally posted on Twitter.

    Anyone any ideas what's happened here?

     

     

    He was an absolute cunt to the 'volunteers'/group who kept the club running, so using their legally contracted rights they've pretty much disbanded the club.

     

    He still owes 2k iirc to another local club, keeps making excuses not to pay them back.

    Cant see mcginn playing like

    Their Caretaker manager dropped him straight away last week

    Think it's a variety of seeing what players perform well in training, hopefully gets the callup and gets another booking when playing us
