Cumbria crack reporting his contract is not being renewed? No official statement…
Gutted for him, thought he was a very decent and passionate bloke. Unfortunately the end of the season will live long in the memory. Thanks for your efforts Chris….certainly not through lack of effort and some decent signings to boot…

No surprise there,still waiting confirmation but the rumours have been circulating the ground for a few weeks,my view is that he seems a genuine bloke who tried his very best but lacked the ability to improve any of the players and even though unlucky not to achieve promotion produced a brand of football especially at home that was terrible to watch .The club have made a brave decision but have reacted quickly, hopefully an appointment will be made in the next few days, players need snapped up sharply and let's rebuild a mostly county based side ,there is talent here let's make the most of our geographical isolation

Really unfortunate, hate to see that when someone has clearly given it their all…good luck Chris. Think a clean slate for the new season is probably best for all concerned. I’d be more than happy with the retention of the vast majority of our squad. Hope they decide to give it another shot…they are still good players. have to take plenty of responsibility themselves though too easy to blame the manager…work to do regardless….

If the rumours are true then all the best to Chris. Gutted it hasn't worked out as he seems very passionate and certainly tried his best for the club. Credit to the board for acting quickly and I believe it's the right decision. Hopefully we have someone lined up who can add a couple of bits of quality and get the best out of the lads who resign. I don't think there is a single player in the 1st team who isn't up to the standard, but as a team the performances haven't been for a while.

On Club website & Cumbria Crack.
Small margins, 2 points & 1 goal. Some on here will be happy.
Be careful what you wish for.

Was sent this by my mate: I’ve copied it from WhatsApp. Looks genuine when you see it - can’t believe someone would spread such an untruth…
FAREWELL CHRIS. Cumbria Crack reports that the Club will not be extending Chris's contract. Runners Up was not bad, but not good enough at the end of the day. The Reds' statement said: "Following a disappointing end to an otherwise successful season, on and off the pitch, the board have taken the decision not to renew the contract of Chris Willcock for the 22/23 season.

Seems a shame that this story has obviously been leaked out earlier than expected hopefully the club will issue a statement either way as soon as possible, looking forward we need to keep our county based players and probably let go some of those high earning travellers then get out and attract players who can fit in ,first signing for me if possible would be Liam Brockbank in effect we have played a full season without a left back,secondly would be up at Annan tonight to check whether the 5 or so Carlisle based players there would be suitable for us,no time to waste now ,keep the momentum going

Time will tell. Quick decision - I wonder if someone is lined up ? I guess apart from a few supporters, Danny Grainger would be welcomed back. Otherwise it's into the unknown ?

Well, unless they have Danny Grainger on a contract with a heavy penalty break clause, it seems a rather rushed decision. A local manager and squad is always best for Reds because of the remoteness of West Cumbria, but Chris did do well, especially in the first half of the season, and I wish him well.
