Carlisle set to reveal new owners

Carlisle United have called a news conference for 1400 BST on Thursday when they will announce a takeover of the club.

No details are being given as to the identity of the new owner.

Local businessman Fred Story is stepping down after four years at Brunton Park.

During Story's time at the helm the club achieved two promotions and managed to reach the League One play-offs last season.


The announcement will be live on BBC Radio Cumbria from 1400 BST.

quote:

The Dublin-based businessman has confirmed that talks with current owner Fred Story to buy the club back are at an advanced stage. Courtenay took over from Michael Knighton at Brunton Park in 2002 but sold the club to Story two years later.

Courtenay, a self-made millionaire who owns the Umbro franchise in Ireland, remains a popular figure amongst Carlisle supporters despite being in charge when the club were relegated out of the Football League in 2004.

Carlisle reveal new club board

Carlisle United have confirmed that a team including chief executive David Allen has taken full control of the club from director Fred Story.

Football director Steven Pattison is handed responsibility for the school of excellence and youth development.

Andrew Jenkins retains his position as chairman and John Nixon will continue in the role of managing director.

Thirty four shares will remain in the hands of the Carlisle United Trust to be represented by Norman Steele.

Story will remain a major sponsor of the club, but no longer retains the post of director.


Fans have been warned not to expect too many changes in the way the club is run, and chief executive Allen believes the new team has inherited a stable club with potential to grow.

"I think we're able to build on the business model that Fred Story started," Allen told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"We've got the same aims to go forward which are to improve."

It emerged last month that Courtenay was in talks with Story to buy the League One club for a second time.

However, four club directors - David Allen, John Nixon, Steven Pattison and Andrew Jenkins - sealed a deal to buy the club.

Carlisle move is ideal - Bridges

Carlisle United striker Michael Bridges says his hunger to play first-team football was the catalyst for his return to Brunton Park. Bridges, 29, joined the Cumbrians on a year's loan from Premier League side Hull City on Thursday and is determined to make the most of the opportunity.

"There was only one place I'd come back to," he told BBC Radio Cumbria. "I'm not happy just to sit around and pick up my money, I want to play football, hence the reason I moved on."

quote:

Carlisle manager John Ward has admitted the club had to let striker Joe Garner join Nottingham Forest after the player requested a move to the City Ground. The 20-year-old has joined Championship newcomers Forest in a £1.14m deal after just one season at Brunton Park, following his switch from Blackburn.

Garner, a former England Under-19 international, joined Carlisle from Blackburn Rovers for a club record £140,000 in August 2007. The deal also includes a £500,000 pay-out to Garner's former club Blackburn Rovers along with a 50% cut of sell-on fees.

Wordt met dat laatste stukje over "cut of sell-on fees" bedoeld dat Carlisle 50% van de transferrechten houdt?

Leyton Orient 0-0 Carlisle

Ten-man Carlisle produced a resilient display to keep out Leyton Orient in an entertaining clash at Brisbane Road.

The home side enjoyed the greater possession, particularly in the second half, but were unable to find the creativity and killer punch.

Visiting keeper Ben Williams made fine saves from Simon Dawkins and Adam Boyd to ensure the scores remained level.

And Scott Dobie was sent off for violent conduct following an off-the-ball incident with Orient's Brian Saah.

Carlisle 4-1 Yeovil

Danny Graham's hat-trick gave Carlisle a fine victory over Yeovil in a contest between the two teams boasting previously unbeaten records.

Yeovil led after Gavin Tomlin's strike, but Graham grabbed his first just before the interval and put Carlisle ahead after pouncing on a loose ball.

Graham coolly added his third from the penalty spot after 69 minutes.

Gary Madine rounded it off with his first league goal, sliding home from Cleveland Taylor's accurate cross.

Carlisle 0-2 Leeds

Luciano Becchio and Jermaine Beckford ended Carlisle's 100% home record.

Becchio reacted quickly to score when Neil Kilkenny's corner flew across the face of goal and was poked back into the danger area by Paul Telfer.

Frazer Richardson rattled the Carlisle crossbar with a superb 25-yard effort in the 80th minute.

And Beckford sealed Leeds' win when substitute Robert Snodgrass found space on the left flank and crossed for the striker to score from six yards out.

MK Dons 3-1 Carlisle

Peter Leven bagged two goals as MK Dons recovered from a goal down to inflict Carlisle's fifth straight League loss.
Former Middlesbrough striker Danny Graham headed in for the visitors after just three minutes, before Leven drove home to equalise before half-time.
Leven then whipped in a fine cross for Miguel Angel Llera to head in at the back post and give the hosts the lead.
Jude Stirling was brought down by Danny Livesey and Leven scored the penalty to score his fifth goal of the season.
It was a fifth straight league defeat for John Ward's faltering Cumbrians, who came so close to getting promoted in May.
