Carlisle United CEO defers review of season's issues

Carlisle United's chief executive Nigel Clibbens has said it is not the right time to analyze the failures of the current season. He acknowledges that mistakes have been made, but insists a full review should wait until the end of the season. Carlisle United is currently at the bottom of the English Football League and is facing a real threat of relegation. They are nine points from safety with only ten games left to play. This season has drawn strong criticism from fans, as they risk dropping to the National League for the second time in their history. Clibbens spoke on BBC Radio Cumbria about the situation. He noted that decisions made earlier this season were done in good faith but did not yield the desired results. He emphasized that the leadership group at the club believes discussions about mistakes should take place after the season ends. Carlisle United will face Bromley on Saturday, urgently needing a win to keep their hopes of survival alive. They are currently on their third manager this season and have used a total of 42 players in the league. Fans and media have been critical of the team's decisions and recruitment as they slide closer to relegation. Bookmakers now heavily favor their relegation.
