Carlisle united sack Greg Abbott
Silly season starting early this year.
Seems a bit knee jerk to me

Disagree, he'd been there since 2008 and by all accounts they have been very abject this season, and struggled towards the end of last season.

Fans disillusioned and attendences dropping - fair sacking in my mind.

Was about to say the same, not so knee jerk as first appears, timing maybe but he was under threat last season too.

Poll: DF in or out

I agree they had a poor season last year but it's not that long ago they challenged in the L1 playoffs and won the paint pot trophy.
They have the core of those teams still there, maybe it needed a bit of time and a few tweaks.
The real reason for worry would be the drop in attendances because let's face it they have no other team near then within about a 50 mile radius

That might entice Bobbyjoe from his armchair.

Even so it seems daft to me to sack some1 after 6 games and a league cup game.
If they had doubts from last year they should have gotten rid In the summer and give a new fella a chance.

Whilst conceding that you may have a point about the sacking being a bit quick,had Dale had a similar record at the start of the previous 2 seasons,there would have been a lot of our forum contributors jumping up and down demanding the same action from our Directors.
In Carlisle's case I would suspect that Abbott had been warned that the season had to start well,particularly after their poor showing last season,or he would have to face the consequences and ultimately that is probably what as occured

No surprises in the slightest that Abbott's gone and it seems to be justified.

As for Paul Simpson, I can only say that given the Carlisle fans seemingly WANT him back. That in itself leaves me to say that they deserve all that they get.

If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor

Even worse for Carlisle than Simpson being up for the post, John Coleman has also been linked to the job.

Sometimes you have to have sympathy for the plight of other clubs.

Maybe they can form the ultimate dream team

Simple Simmo and Soft lad and Steve Eyre to the duo and the world is your oyster

Indeed. You have to feel sorry for any club so desperate it would re-hire the only man in living memory to bring them any success.

Is Mick Wadsworth in the frame as well?
