Carlisle sacked Neil McDonald around 15 years back for "footballing reasons" around 10-00am on a Monday morning after their season kicked off two days before with a 1-1 draw. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,745 Posted August 12 Another stupid start to the season. Preston lose 2-0 to Sheffield United and Ryan Lowe walks. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c990yxd90y5o What a waste of pre-season. That's 2 managers down after less than a fortnight of the new season. Anyway, a good start to the season for Diego, who had both of those, and Wannamaker, who had Ryan Lowe on his list. And to correct my previous post, it was Wannamaker not Lady Fiona who was also on 12, and subsequently he is now on 13! Below is the updated scoreboard and, since it's been a while, I've listed what is still needed for each player to bring victory. Will we complete before Christmas..? Checking has enabled me to discover that Diego has been a hit down since last November, as he had Malky Mackay but wasn't included on the Master List. Subsequently, he's on 14 now and joint-second!

maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted August 12 How long is Wayne Rooney going to last at Plymouth? Granted, I watched Carlisle take a 4-1 tanking on Saturday and - frankly - still have some faith in Paul Simpson, though - fuck knows - some shooting practice and getting the defence to understand each other's roles has to be the priority in training this week, we actually bossed the possesion, despite going bottom of the entire fucking league. But, Iooking at the match stats from Rooney's first game for points is sobering. An early casualty methinks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted September 1 WTF do I know, I'd have had money on Simmo to come out of the blocks with a winning team given the budget he's had and the faith of the new owners. Three defeats in four league games, I've personally witnessed seven goals hit the back of our net and I was spared live updates this weekend because of the shit wifi at the paranormal conference I attended, when my messages caught up in Costa it was people telling me the sacking was imminent, more than that, the clearout includes two who might - in less ambitious times - have been contenders for the caretaker role. So Carlisle want someone who can turn that shopping spree into play off contention, then: https://www.carlisleunited.co.uk/news/club-statement-31-august-2024?fbclid=IwY2xjawFBw8JleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHaBPzmtPriPZ0IkYMTQw10CuC1MEu2ZmyIAcINN-za8w5hKJaBumX7Cxkg_aem_9SkIIvYDb5PxyStOLtgJXg 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,630 Posted October 26 The next sacking could easily be Mike Williamson (appointed 19 Sept) at Carlisle, one win in nine (11.1111 recurring percentage win if you're a statto), fan pile-on in cyberspace is vicious, one commenting that the best part of today's home game (0-1 loss to Cheltenham) was the fact it didn't rain! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a year earlier they were a penalty away from the Premier League. Not a big Coventry fan (we've had some poor decisions and luck against them in recent years) but absolutely criminal they've sacked him. I'll post an update at some point in the near future. Ten Hag was one of only 2 Premier League managers not picked at the start of this game, the other being Eddie Howe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
