We said in our weekly column on Thursday we would keep fans updated.
Paul Simpson spoke to the media yesterday and said “…it’s not just a rumour. There are talks going on”. He continued, “At the moment I’m not in a position to say anything else. But I think it’s really exciting. It’s a good thing for the football club”.
CUOSC can confirm that we met with and have been fully involved in talks, alongside the other shareholders, with potential new Carlisle United investors over the last few months.
These discussions have been very encouraging and we agree wholeheartedly with Paul Simpson that it could be very exciting for fans and very positive for the football club.
It is clear, that United’s £2.6million debt remains a significant stumbling block. The club is in a delicate process of trying to agree a repayment plan which we hope will move things forward. We do not want to risk jeopardising any further discussions by saying any more.
In our last statement, we assured our members that when there is something further to report we will contact them. As promised, we now have further updates.
We will be holding a number of members meetings, both in person and online, in September. Dates, locations and times will be released in due course. The potential new investors will be present.
Let’s go into this weekend with great excitement and hope that this creates a buzz and that our great supporters can push the team over the line to our first three points of the season.
