I don't rate him as a manager TBH, he will have some heavy financial backing up there but not sure hes the right man to bring them back into the league though. Carlisle fans seem pretty much divided on too.
Looking at his win rate its 37.18 (for comparison Holloway is 36.06), but he also looks to be rather yesterdays man as his win rate is being bolstered by his early career so who knows.
Carlisle fans (much like the population of Carlisle generally) are pretty much divided on everything, had a friend who took job up there years back, she lasted about 6 months and concluded that it was really depressing as it seemed to be full of Geordies who wanted to go back to Newcastle and miserable Scottish people who wished they were in Scotland!
