Sea Of Blue
Hello and welcome to my second manager story, hope your as excited as I am!
This story will start and end with a club that will always have a place in my soul, and that club is... the mighty Carlisle United. This name may not mean much to you, but to me it raises every emotion in my young northern heart. At Carlisle we cannot claim to be rich like Manchester City or have a die hard passion fan base of Newcastle (not that all fan bases are die hard but the Newcastle fans I know are the definition of passion). But we can claim that we have won the same amount of johnstone's paint trophy's as Birmingham, Blackpool and been in the final the most times out of everyone (jealous?).
Now with the announcement of Project Blue Yonder which has our lucky little city and international fan base (CUFC Aussie Branch) jumping for joy. The Cumbrians have promised a new stadium for longer than I have lived, but now its a reality (probably not going to get it for another 17 years but still!). With this it's time to bring some glory to Brunton Park, we have had our moments some for example, Jimmy Glass'es wonder goal (local footballing legend now taxi driver in Dorset) Vincent Péricard's back heal goal in unbelievable fog against Norwich a few years ago (and where are they now?).
Currently we have many contenders for our hall of fame manly being Peter Murphy with over 400 appearances under his belt and thats just the start of his footballing CV. Next being is crowd favorite Francois Zoko, but he is linked with too many grater teams than Carlisle so him staying is a dream.
With that let's begin!
Aims:
My aims for this series are to get a secure top half in the championship then, aim for the premiership! The next aim is to improve the finances of the club so we could survive the league jump without massive debt, this will be achieved hopefully improving the depressing attendances and very goof FA cup runs.
