I'm sure I read somewhere the fella who took over was a LA lawyer and had never been to Carlisle before...

I doubt many lawyers from LA have been to Carlisle before like.

Have the owners actually been to Carlisle?

Aye there's a video of them in the stadium when they took over about a year ago.

They hired - and paid for - a manager (ex-mag Williamson) who was literally days away from being sacked by a L2 rival. MK Dons couldn't believe their luck. If you watch his post-match interview from yesterday he is completely broken. Almost crying. He avoided the sack at one club but will be gone very soon at his new one too. Awful manager.

Harsh. Magnificent at Gateshead adapting a great playing style and achieving way above their level financially. Turned MK Dons around initially before a bad end of season and pkay off defeat. This season was the first time in his management career things have gone poorly for him.

Cumbrian Crack (Carlisle fans site) reckon Williamson is not too far from the sack already despite only being in post for a short time. One quote I heard from a fan said he's trying to play league football with amateurs like he did with The Heed.

Honestly, he was days away from getting the boot at MK. They could not believe their luck when Carlisle came in with compensation for him.

He was. They have high expectations there. He took over they were mid table, got to the play offs and started this season really poorly. It’s hardly the record of a terrible manager.

He's on the brink of being fired for the second time in two months at two clubs. It's not exactly good, is it!

He is one of those managers obsessed to the point of stupidity / arrogance with possession-based football over all else. MK got to play-offs but recieved some absolute thumpings along the way - including losing a record-breaking 8-1 in the play-offs themselves. He's like a League Two Russell Martin, but without any of the charm or personality that helped Martin climb up to PL. Trying to play some bastard form of Pep-ball with League 2 players, and then not having the humility or intelligence to see its not working.

On the plus side - if you ever need help sleeping, just listen to his interviews. The guy is so bland.

I’m not sure what your issue with him is? Are you a Carlisle fan? 3 or 4 years of his career was building one club up after it nearly went bust, giving it an identity, seeing it punch miles above its weight. He leaves a year ago spends 6 months getting a team from mid table to the play offs and he’s had a terrible 3 or 4 months of football. Yes he may have got sacked from MK he won’t be the first, won’t be the last and perhaps made a mistake moving immediately to a club already on the slide but his record overall he can be more than proud of. Fantastic bloke as well.

I'd like him (or someone else) to alter Carlisle's current playing fortunes. Whether he's struggling with what he inherited from Simmo's time or the ownership direction of the club but following the recent managerial turmoil it will take time and I'm unsure if he'll be allowed it. Then (re: Carlisle) who do they get in next. Either the players or their preparation & instruction hasn't looked good for a time now.
