we have a well connected board member who knows a lot of people through the football league. Because of this we have managed to avoid a fixture pile up that would otherwise have destroyed our campaign

Like it or not JNs actions are the reason we won't have a fixture pile up. That's a good thing obviously. The inability of the loudmouth minority on here to give the board any credit just detracts from their overall arguments

I thought JN was director of external affairs? Surely he shouldn't have anything to do with fixture arrangements ?

From what I heard it was other clubs offering us the use of their grounds, we would if they were in this situation, rather than him calling in favours.

I am certain we would have had these offers regardless of certain board members.

I guess it is a mixture of goodwill and a chance to make a few extra quid out of pies, pints, parking etc

Every Carlisle United supporter who I know, most of whom don't post on here, can't stand the current Holdings board. So f*ck off with your "minority" bullsh*t, Steve.

Just to nail my colours firmly to the mast here, I dislike the lies and deceit we've had to put up with over the past few years as much as anybody else, and I would dearly love for the club to be in other hands.

I have to say, however, that during the bloody awful situation we currently find ourselves, as a club, in, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about how they have acted. Quite the contrary in fact, they seem to have been getting quietly on with sorting stuff out, whether administratively, in terms of fixtures and clean up operations. They haven't shoved their faces on every telly screen and shouted about how badly off they are, they have let the general population lead the way. In short, they have acted with real dignity, on behalf of all of us, to the whole of the United Kingdom. They have in fact, shown the country what Cumbria is all about.

I don't know about anybody else, but it is my view that for what they've done in the last 2 weeks they deserve high praise. They're not perfect, granted, but they've got this right and fair play to them.

Also, I would imagine you haven't seen because you haven't looked. I'm fairly sure they'll be having something to do with contacting insurers, talking to other clubs and the football league (and FA), organising the clean up, getting construction firms in, sorting getting the club shop up and running in the Cumberland. This is most likely as busy as they've been in their years running the place, and things are moving, it might not be exactly what everyone wants,but they can't please everyone, they're doing what they should be, making decisions and getting them mainly right for a change.

How on earth do you know what's going on behind the scenes? They might not even be insured for all we know. You're attempting to give praise here where absolutely none is due.

You're probably right Moorlad, but really, what does Sycophantic Stan hope to achieve by trying to convince us that Machiavlli is actually a well meaning all round nice guy.

What makes you say they may not be insured?

Do you doubt that they've had any dealings with the League, or the FA?

Are you just trying to have a go at them for no real reason? I'm as vocal as anybody when they get stuff wrong, more so than most, but it isn't me who's seeing things that aren't there.

What's the difference between the 'billionaire' and Santa Claus?

One doesn't really exist. A made up story, invented to keep everybody happy. When you think about it, it's impossible for him to exist, it's complete and utter b0ll0cks! But I guess a lot of people (especially youngsters and idiots) still believe in him.









The other is Santa Claus.

Don't you know that the default setting of the loudmouths on here is "oh look something's happened, let's mindlessly criticise the board"

My favourite type of loudmouth is those who can contradict themselves. E.g. In one thread slagging off the club for not making enough money then in another slagging off the club for not putting on free tickets/free coaches/free pies/ paying for their children to go to private school

Which is it lads???

Read my posts again Moorlad, where have I had a go at them? All I was saying was why the high praise? Just because I'm not giving them praise doesn't mean I'm criticising.

As for the insurance, it was simply meant as an example of you heaping praise on them for things which you didn't even know they'd done, or to use your phrase "seeing things that aren't there".

It's must my opinion Frank, I may well be wrong, they might have all sat at home out of the way. Mind, if that means things were done better and more efficiently, then they've done the right thing anyway.

Why not? Plenty scaffolders and labourers working into their 60s nowadays so moving a few knackered chairs isnt owt special imo.

I'd say anyone over 60 who has been flooded out will have been involved with moving furniture etc, not just Nixon.
what I find scary is the thought that someone high up had a favour to call in. What on earth could the stooges have done for someone to warrant a favour to return.
