Please watch tonight Panorama and you will see why it is almost impossible for a club like ours to survive without someone like Andrew Jenkins. How many people would put in £2m of there own money into the Blues.We do need the billionaire because there is no business profit in small clubs. Panorama will allege that the corruption in FIFA is immense. If this is true how do we know it is not the same in UEFA or indeed the football league or the FA. They all seem to live quite well.!!
Andrew Jenkins is a man of honour and Carlisle United supporters should be proud of the efforts he has made to keep the team where we are.

Your right, a certain Mr Nixon does seem to be doing quite all right out of the FA.

But, onto your main point, perhaps an argument could be made that if AJ was competent enough in the running of the club then he wouldn't of needed to put £2 million in?

None the less, not sure this is the time to be banging on about this Steve.

Sorry, I don't think I will see the connection between international corruption and bribery and why a local football club cannot be run properly.

Does corruption in the International Olympic Committee mean local athletics clubs cannot help being shite?


There's a more provable causation for climate change [censored] our club

If there's no business profit in lower League Clubs, then Mr Jenkins should simply write off the 'Loans', both personal and company.

Anyone who loans to a Club at our level believing they will get it back is living in cloud cuckoo land...

Which is a loan or debt! Agree he has done this for CUFC but hanging on isn't helping how much debt will he leave the club in, if he passes away on day? At least Fred had spent the money and wiped it off!

All of the stuff their churning out for TV was published in books a few years ago, just gets air time now because of the hype around it and people act as if it's a fresh story that's only just breaking.

All fans should indeed be thankful to Mr Jenkins. I find it very odd that there is so much hate for a man who gives millions to the club. Even stranger is the fact some people think all we need to go from L2 to Premier League is to replace a consortium of local business men with.... A consortium of local business men - with no guarantee that any of them will be (or can be) as generous as Jenkins

Well they can't do a worse job than the consortium of local businessmen we currently have running the show can they ?

When has AJ given any money to the club ? Every penny he has put in has been in the form of loans from himself or Pioneer. That's very different from him donating it.

Amazingly during the last few years we have averaged the stated break even figure of 4,200. The reason we have lost £2m is because of contract extensions to Ward, Greg and Kav which they then had to pay off. The 40 odd loan players Kav used in a season wouldn't have helped either. In short - the £2m debt was down to bad decisions they made.

It was alright, found it a bit repetitive in the end to be honest. Prefer watching stuff about that than reading it really. Would like to read a book about Bernard Tapies involvement in Football mind and there is a book only out in German about the Bayern Munich fella who got jailed for tax evasion which could be pretty interesting.
