Must have been lined up for a little while. No way that Cooper can go on Sunday and Brown in Monday morning otherwise.

Yes indeed. He obviously knew when Adam interviewed him. Remember Cooper said something like "you'll see some changes next week".

Stop it! :D
:oops: I bow to your insider knowledge.
It wasn't insider knowledge, just a jokey guess. But sadly the directors are that out of touch with football that it turned out to be true.

Forgive me for doubting just how inept the people running our club are. They've gone for one of the old has-beens whose name does the rounds every time a job comes up.
Another terrible managerial appointment!

The board have made massive strides in the short time they have been in charge.Ok there have and will be bumps along the way,but they supported Mark Cooper when he came here and as far as they were financially able to gave him what he asked for.
Anyone who has watched Mark Cooper's recent interview could see that his heart wasn't, in it anymore.In my opinion the board must have had a very good reason for asking him to leave.Could it be a similar reason to why he was asked to leave Forest Green?
When he came here I for one thought he was the right man for the job,but something had gone badly wrong for the drop off in form,it can,t just be the players.
Carlisle are using the same players who were losing match after match,but Paul Simpson has re energised that same team to win matches,so perhaps we may be able to turn around our team if we manage to find the right person.
In the interests of accuracy and to prevent our friend from creaming his pants it's pretty certain that the loan cant be called in so long as the club or the PG.s don't default on the interest payments and although 7k a month seems like a lot of money its not an issue for a company with a turnover of circa 3.5m and a guarantor estimated to be worth 15m.

Its so obvious that the massive loans/debts that Carlisle operate under are a millstone around the clubs kneck so to speak-and Paul Simpson should steer well clear.

What part of “if Dean Henderson is sold all Carlisle United debts are more than cleared” do you not understand ?

And a complete coincidence that he went to Rochdale v Barrow the week before I’m sure……
