The only reason Cambridge are above you is because of the manager. Get that right and div 1 is possible. There is a hidden handicap that you are not aware of. Cambridge can sign players from anywhere. The transport infrastructure allows it. But not from ooop norf.

You are ooop norf.

Would a suvverner, a midlander, or even a mancunian sign for Carlisle? You might as well be in Scotland.

No.

Unless the money is right, which it wont be. You will have to pay more for them to move. You have a small pool of players to fish in. Having said that, there are carp in your penalty area.

Joking aside, youve had it. Kaput. Do have a a yoof system?, its your only hope.
