It's the correct time to part ways with Hughes, but we won't know whether it's the correct decision until October/ November. Could be a disaster for us if a new man comes in, players are recruited accordingly, we start poorly and he gets sacked after 10-15 games.
Carlisle United can confirm that Mark Hughes has left his position as Head Coach by mutual agreement.

Boggles the mind. 13k crowd. Everyone up for it. Opposition played 120mins midweek. It's National League standard, they will make mistakes playing out. And yet we sit off in a mid block and the occasion goes completely flat. Beyond frustrated. #cufc

Right man, wrong time. I wrote a bit from a fans point of view on why it didn’t work out at Posh: uptheposhcast.com/post/the-f…

Chris Conn-Clarke, what a player. Absolutely buzzing he's here with us. Ball striking, skill, touch, vision, he's got it all. Hoping he can make an impact like Bridges did 🤞🏻

He's still on 23 as well. Not even reached his prime years.

Where's the pace!? Like one of Simmo's teams. All plodders apart from Linney.

New kit thoughts. Looks better than the leaked version I'm still not a fan Far too much red It will sell well, so a win for Umbro and the club If we win the league, everyone will forget how shit they thought it was and will become a classic #cufc

Here's the most successful managers who have managed in the National League in the last 5 seasons, ranked by points per game with a minimum of 50 games managed. Not much availability or many (if any) with the right profile. Adam Hinshelwood perhaps on the way up.

For those who use @FotMob. No advanced metrics for us in the National League next season. #cufc

I think the decision whether to keep Mark Hughes will be interesting viewing. He's been about par for me, took him a while to work out the best formation and tactics for the squad, and we didn't get a new manager bounce. That being said, if he'd been brought in earlier,

full control. I'm sure the owners would not want to go down this route as they appear to be well set on continuing with the Sporting Director and Head Coach structure. Some big and quick decisions need to be made, because if they keep Clarkson, the supporters will lose even

more faith than what is there currently. Over to the Piataks. Hope they seel some proper advice from outside the club. #cufc
