The decision by Allan McGonigal to leave his post as Rangers manager last Wednesday night following the agreement of a take-over deal by a supporters trust consortium was not unexpected, but some of the interested parties have been.
Former Swansea City and Wales international Leighton James spoke on Monday of his desire to become Rangers' next manager, having played at Shielfield Park in 1983 for Sunderland against Celtic in a charity match.
James, who won 54 caps for Wales, told the Swansea Evening Post: "My love affair with Berwick started that day purely because of the welcome we got. That's stuck in my mind ever since.
"People like that deserve to be successful and I've come to the stage where I want to get back into football now.
"I've always looked for their scores and this season, apart from (last) Saturday against Albion Rovers, no-one has really hammered them so they're not a million miles away from being a decent side.
"I've got an affection with the club and I think I'm the man who can put things right."
Mike Galloway is another who is looking to get back into football, and the former Celtic midfielder believes he can lead his home town club back up the third division table.
"I have had my problems like my car accident and battle with alcoholism but I am a winner," said Galloway, who said he applied for the job last Friday.
"I am really interested as it is my local club and have always wanted to manage Berwick Rangers.
"If you look at Tottenham, Harry Redknapp has come in full of passion and drive and turned it around.
"I could do that at Berwick and get the dressing room laughing again.
"Hopefully the take-over can bring the club forward, whether I get the job or not."
Another who has made their interest in the vacancy known is John McCormack, the former Dundee and Morton manager.
McCormack said: "Football is in my blood and I would love to be working in it again with my own players.
"Berwick would be a challenge as they have had a difficult couple of years, but everyone knows I am a grafter.
"Once the new owners are in place I would love to talk to them about what I can do."
Current Berwick Rangers player/coach Ian Little is also interested in discussing the job with the new board, but was non-committal on whether he would accept the role if offered it.
"I'm not saying I wouldn't be interested but I'm not 100 per cent. I would like to be involved - I do enjoy the Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays but I am not sure if I would like the politics inbetween.
"If they asked I wouldn't definitely say 'no' and would give them my ideas."
Former Berwick favourite and assistant manager Neil Oliver has also been quoted for the job among supporters, but the big decision will be left to the new board.
