League One Carlisle United

Neil McDonald

Carlisle have sacked manager Neil McDonald after just one game of the new season - and after he broke their transfer record on Friday.

Carlisle fans - are you as stunned by this as we are in the office? What is going on at your club?

McDonald didn't bring us up from league 2, that was Simpson. There's little point in comments referring to Fred Story as clueless when we don't know the full details, interviews with the players on the website are interesting, they are saying that it's a shock but nobody said they were sad/ disappointed.

seems a bizarre one to me erm

i wonder if its a disciplinary issue or something that the fans aren't being told?

the board can't possibly complain about the progress made last season, and despite losing hawley, they have signed three attackers in graham, carlton and garner that will more than compensate for his loss,

you would have thought carlisle fans were in for an exiting season wouldn't you?

McImoyle - Not quite sure how you can view Warnock as alledgedly unpopular. It's a nailed on certainty. As a Blade I've had to endure several years of abuse from other club's fans due solely to Mr W.

Even if the board are playing it this way because of legal advice, from outside it gives a particularly spineless impression on how Carlisle are run as a club.
