I’ve been lucky, had some fantastic bosses in my life. He wasn’t one.
Opportunity now to bring in a young, ambitious CEO to take us forward.

Carlisle United Football Club can confirm that Nigel Clibbens has left his role as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect.

@adambirkettt You’re in the good category (when you weren’t being grumpy).
English

Grafted their bollocks off. Absolutely ragdolled them in that first half.
Second half wasn’t pretty, but was never going to be when you’re 3-0 up away from home.
Thought Macadam was immense.
Carlisle United@officialcufc
Three goals. Three points. 💙
English

Above all, that was a great watch.
A lot to be said for having grafters in, thought Wearne was excellent and really like Embleton out wide, Armstrong running his pan in as usual too.
Ajiboye - 🐐

GETTT INNNN 🙌

@cufcdanny Laziest thing ever is saying that a reply is a ‘nibble’. Think obsessed is applying everything to Breeze and tweeting about him relentlessly.
English

@SLocksCUFC Think you’re off the mark tbh. Gilliead is a bit of a litmus test for understanding the roles of some midfielders. He shouldn’t be compared with Whelan.
Regardless of ‘presence’ I could almost guarantee that Gilliead makes more tackles, interceptions and recoveries vs HM.
English

@RobElder88 Macadam brings a more physical presence to the midfield, needed alongside Whelan imo
Whelan does what Gilliead tries to do but better - he shows more for it from CBs and is much more active (CCC was having to come deep to get the ball)
Gilliead poor defensively, ball watcher
English

That was painful. Didn’t get even remotely close to them.
I don’t have a clue what our identity is? What is it we’re actually trying to do to score goals?
Think Kelly’s interview spoke a few truths.
Zero positives, but Alex Gilliead deserves to hold his head up.
Carlisle United@officialcufc
FT.
English

@SLocksCUFC I agree Whelan should start, but over Macadam.
Gilliead, especially first half, was very good.
Completely disagree that he doesn’t get on the ball. He doesn’t hit Hollywood passes etc but he calms things down, wins it back, and keeps it.
English

@RobElder88 Gilliead? He just follows MacAdam about the whole game.
Never looks to get on the ball and when he does he often does nothing with it.
The thing that annoys me most is how much of a liability he is defensively, saw him lose his man on the edge of the box 5 times. Start Whelan
English

@Halpinforpope Yeah. It’s madness.
I simply can’t accept that some of these lads are as bad as they’re made to look by the lack of tactics. The level some have played at and how much they were loved by fans of other teams, yet we can’t get anything from them.
English

@RobElder88 Couldn’t agree more, we’ve not had a plan all season other than give it to Linney and hope for the best. Now that he is woefully out of form we look devoid of ideas. We are slow, struggle to retain possession and are prone to awful defensive mistakes, a receipe for disaster.
English

@stuferg1990 @carlisl9125 @CUFCLJ Maybe if we ditch hospitality, and stop bringing in any money from that, we can get promoted?
English

@RobElder88 @carlisl9125 @CUFCLJ Not a clue what he's going about. Match day profits up as a result of investment in corporate and fan experience. Yeah what stupid idea eh!! 🤡
English

@RobElder88 @carlisl9125 @CUFCLJ God forbid you hold the players accountable either. Muppet of the highest proportions
English

@carlisl9125 Are you actually reading anything?
We’ve been relegated, and it’s fair to question the signings themselves and how we play and how poor some results have been.
But we have thrown money at it, signing after signing, plenty of wages - and that’s your point, is it not?
English

@RobElder88 We've been relegated two seasons running, or hadn't you noticed?
English

This lad would rather have a meal, and a Pimms than see better players arrive.

@carlisl9125 @CUFCLJ Lee, you post your prawn sarnie line as a reply to absolutely everything. There’s been huge investment in players. The same people who push forward things like commercial and hospitality, are not responsible for recruitment. Absolutely mind blowing, isn’t it?
English

@carlisl9125 But we’ve signed how many players in the past two seasons? Well over 30? Plenty of big wages being paid…
So how is the club spending money on prawn sandwiches instead of players? Can you actually explain?
English

@RobElder88 I stand there, too. And many people of years of long standing say the same, you sausage.
English

@carlisl9125 @CUFCLJ You’re suggesting that investment on the pitch is being sacrificed for off the pitch, which is so obviously not true when we’ve signed so many players and paid out huge wages.
It’s just properly stupid to give it the ‘prawn sarnies’ crack every chance you get. Yawn.
English

@RobElder88 @CUFCLJ That's because it's right. Not enough investment on the pitch, it's clear. Losing points to Solihull. Unacceptable. I never said commercial and hospitality are responsible for recruitment! Too much emphasis is on hospitality. Get the team promoted.

English

@CUFCLJ The club and owners won't invest on the pitch. More interested in prawn sandwiches.
English

@In5ertHandle As does every team who win anything. You don’t play well every week, and it’s arrogance to expect we will, especially against a side who were unbeaten in 9 going in to it.
You’re always going to scrape results, every win can’t be at a canter.
English

@RobElder88 That result has been coming. We've scraped results out very the last month and played badly.
English

Painful watch that. We really struggle when teams camp in.
But my god our fan base are reactionary and miserable.
Suddenly Hughes needs sacked, Linney is wank and CCC needs sent back.
Some of the tweets and Facebook comments are equally as much of a shan as that performance.
Carlisle United@officialcufc
Defeat.
