Looking at some Carlisle fan comments (almost all wishing Simpson well - he's a club legend up there) they seem to reckon they've got a decent squad together, he's just been failing to make them tick. It does look odd timing, but maybe they're working on the basis that they've got what they need, apart from the right person to manage it all. Even then it is a daft way to go about things. If you trust the manager with pre-season you should back your judgment at least until November IMVHO. Agree that any sackings at this point look a bit ridiculous. I suppose as others have said, it's been over a season of poor results and then not seeing any improvement at the start of the season. And then the gamble is the longer you leave it, the less time the new boss has to turn it around. My gut reaction is the same as yours, but looking at the more sensible comments from Carlisle fans, I think even those who would probably take the same approach as us normally, are of the opinion that his time had come. I reckon any manager (and in this case, a club legend) who's lost the support of the tolerant part the fanbase is living on borrowed time.

I’d be very surprised. Not sure they can offer him anything he hasn’t already got. My worry would be a Subderland, WBA or Sheff U. Basically a top end Championship club.

Bigger club maybe & if they were a division higher than us I'd share your fear, but Can't see DC sidestepping to another club in our division whilst a season is in progress & we're doing well. Not sure how things are financially nowadays at Bolton? I presume they're fairly stable now but it wasn't too long ago they were on the edge of extinction.

He dropped down a league to move to a bigger club. I couldn't blame him for moving to Bolton if it came about.

I watched them at the Conti club on Student Nurse/NHS night in 1992 * erm it could have been anyone to be honest I cant say I paid that much attention to the band 🤣

Sorry to do this to Pugwash, but if Orient are still keeping faith with this keeper by the time we play them we need to just rain shots on him.

Bolton are a bit bigger than us but I don't think we're talking behemoths of the modern game or owt. I'd be stunned and really irked if DC left County for a team such as Bolton to be honest. I love that they play at the Toughshit Stadium mind. That's class

Do think a lot of times that the size of clubs are guaged on the gates and a clubs past more than how they are performing on the pitch at the moment. For years we were in the same position by being beaten by sides who many called villiage teams but were playing at our standard.

Hope they turn up with that back 4 mind.
