from the Carlisle forum: This is how clubs get in serious trouble, all owners when they take over promise the world and throw a little bit of cash at things. But the sheer incompetence of running what was a well ran (albeit not rich) club essentialy in to the ground. We are left 100 percent reliant ...

carlisle have american money, I think they will see what rexham and bham have achieved (media wise) and try to emulate this by throwing big money to get the headlines (cup runs etc)

having listened, I take the panels view we should be looking to be top half if not playoffs but with the second lowest budget in the league and always losing our best players after one season is that really realistic?

lets just be grateful its them and not us, back 2 back relegations. They'll probably come straight back up with their financial clout.

Part of me still thinks CTFC aren't really taken seriously as a football club, seen as non league, playing at a small old style ground and run by 'plucky' amateurs. Summed up by someone (maybe on here) that Alfie May scoring 20+ goals for Charlton is worth more and seen as more of a feet than scorin...

I remember the bbc going 'giddy' over this POS when he played in France, identifying him as some sort of wise renaissance man stepping away from his old self.

He's thick as pig s#!t, always has been and always will be no matter how much he pays his PR company.

looks like the usual suspects coming down to join us next season

Burton

lol, can defo see potential investors 'walking away' for whatever reason.

maybe this will make them 'think' about the consequences of their actions.

zero sympathy.

I wonder if there is a promotion add on fee for Charlton and therefore for us. I expect Charlton will do very well indeed out of this. For us, a preseason friendly and a packet of peanuts............ Could have been worse, he could have had a re-sale value. That one will never die :lol: but Barry F...

Can a football club (from any league) refuse/forfeit their promotion to the league above?

if a team just is not in position to play at the next level and don't want to jeopardies the future of the football club can they refuse the promotion?

current badge is fine, looks contemporary for a modern age, lets not keep harping back to coats of arms and the mid 90's. if they do want to change it lets keep it modern and minimal.

Rhusden and Diamonds really were a set of wankers, supporters, players the lot, one of those vile monied non league clubs of the mid to late 90's.

good riddance.

we're in utterly mental days were a non league club can run at a loss of £3.2m

Have CTFC played a team that has contained any world cup winners? (league games only)

I don't like the two sides comment. Every time SISU tried to take something to court they lost, at one point a judge even criticised them for deliberately harming Coventry City as a business to make a point. I appreciate this is Seppala on her own now and not as part of SISU (though I'm not sure th...

This does not reassure me. It makes it sound like she had no responsib...

Just to add Mike Flynn said last night that Ryan has had a lot to deal with off the pitch this season. Wish him all the best.
