The BELEAGUERED Carlisle Utd Thread

[GTFCfish]

Carlisle fans pretending they’re relegation candidates is more tedious than when Grimsby did it last season given the squad, the manager and the inevitable January splurge.

We were absolutely in the relegation mix last season.

Anyway according to Pete O’Rourke we’re looking at Iain Wood from Barrow for our sporting director role.

Williamson is on a rolling contract, so either party can walk away any time, which is an interesting way of doing things, especially given Carlisle paid comp. From https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/24612751.new-carlisle-united-boss-wants-brunton-park-fortress/

United, meanwhile, have clarified the nature of Williamson's contract after his appointment last week.

The club confirmed that the head coach's deal is a rolling contract, rather than a deal lasting a particular number of years.

Rolling contracts are the norm these days rather than a set number of years.

Usually 6 (or 12) months rolling contracts. Means the club can get rid and ‘only’ pay up the 6 months. If a manager wants to move on, the new club have to pay 6 months to the original club

Yeah, pretty much what I’ve heard. Rolling contract with a 12 month payoff if we want to terminate it and a similar release clause if another club want to take him. Gives both sides some security.

Played reasonably well in the first half yesterday but struggled to get out after the break. Defence looking more organised, and Harry Lewis is finally starting to look like a quality goalkeeper. Just a shame we can't convert chances when we're on top in games. Jordan Jones the latest victim of the injury curse which haunts this club, 10/11 first team players now on the sidelines. Callum Guy, Ethan Robson, and Taylor Charters to return over the next 3-4 weeks. No idea how this plays out - we may yet pull well clear of the bottom end of the table, but until we do...

3-4 weeks is optimistic for those 3.

Williamson said Charters and Robson will be back in full training in a few weeks. Then reckon it will be another couple of weeks at least after that.

As for Guy… Haven’t even given a timescale for return to full training. I wouldn’t expect him back in the team before December.

Need to pick up wins before then otherwise we’ll be too far adrift.

Ever since that stupid Qatar World Cup there seems to have been injury issues at lots of clubs……I still think that smaller following summer did about of damage.

Although us deciding to sign every crock available hasn’t helped
