Carlisle Poach Mike Williamson From MK Dons!

[@NotTheTop20]

Corrections and Clarifications: George apologises wholeheartedly for his comment about Carlisle United's pitch, which is an award-winning beauty. David Mitchell and his team are architects of the turf, giants of the grass, and Mike Williamson's 500+ passes per game will be completed without a single bobble.

Was that something David Mitchell said on Would I Lie to You? 😉

[@JohnJohnson-vd2hp]

I just Knew that would get a reaction !

[@Kairicko]

Totally outrageous and shows you know absolutely nothing about most teams in the basement division. Stick to things you know pal.

Carlisle United pitch is one of the best in the EFL. Its an absolute carpet our groundsman gets annual awards for it. So that is a terrible take, I don't care if we play out form the back, route one or anything just need results for now! Very happy with MW coming in onwards and upwards!

[@bloopynoose12452]

Our pitch is literally the most immaculate in the league lads.

[@Dantianblue]

Thanks for quick reaction. Fair points apart from the comments on Carlisle's pitch 😂

[@jimmycburfield5997]

Good analysis As a Carlisle fan I am encouraged

[@covid-2031]

You will find Carlisles pitch is in the top few in the uk

[@richardmctiernan3462]

Spot on, clearly a large percentage of it is Williamson wanting to get further North, it's a good three hours closer. Plus, a small part feels like Williamson knew he had a few small question marks over him at MK Dons, jump before you can be pushed in this line of work.

If it's bad news for Franchise FC, it's good news for football.

[@donnyandmooie82]

Well, unfortunately for you, this is good news for Franchise FC

[@Hartley_Hare]

@@donnyandmooie82 I'm sure they'll go from strength to strength with whatever replacement they can shovel money at. People won't forget their origins, though.

Hes about 40 mins from home . On the best pitch in the north of the country!

[@markcollier1206]

Smaller pitch? Worse pitch? Do ya research ffs

[@NotTheTop20]

Holding my hands up and saying I’m sorry

[@TheEddieBastard]

Hope you have seen the state of our pitch, it really is magnificent

[@Liaminchains]

Allow the boys one mistake ffs 😂 these two are far more knowledgeable than the so called pundits who played the game and get paid fortunes to talk in cliches on tv.

[@kevinallen4375]

Maybe mile Williamson fancied being at a real club with history, rather than franchise fc 😅

[@markfp9705]

Most fans are very happy about this, CU, I'm really not sure. We have a chronically slow team with terrible pass completion stats. We have been beaten by team after team that puts the ball into the corners and then crosses at will. Williamson's defensive stats are shocking. It just feels like a huge risk at a time when we can't be wrong. I'm sure 21st century pundits' noses will turn up, but a neolithic Keith Curle or John Coleman would be virtually guaranteed to get us to 10th, and we can work from there. We've got 3 Carlisle guys running the show at the moment. Why not an 18-month contract for Coleman and part is he trains our guys up. It will be great or terrible. If its terrible, what then?

[@BarryR.]

Youre welcome to him 😂

[@v1sionary100]

You would use the word poach to suggest it was something worth taking which clearly he is not!

[@MarkJohnston-h3q]

You clearly no nothing about Carlisle as we have a big pitch and one of the best playing surfaces in the EFL...get ya facts right 😡

[@22RidgwaY22]

I’m an MK fan. Not upset about this whatsoever. His football didn’t work, his record in big games is shocking, and there’s next to no connection with the fans. To get a compensation fee for him feels like a win-win for both sides

[@Spawndex]

Wow an actual mk fan

[@Hartley_Hare]

@@Spawndex A 'fan'.

[@theskidmarkoforion4829]

A customer. Bletchley Stealers do not have fans

[@infrasleep]

@@theskidmarkoforion4829 Apart from AFC fans (75% of whom were NOT there 1977-2004) who in their right mind gives a toss about MK beyond the two times a year they play them ? The history is complex-Sam Hamam is as-if not more-guilty than Winkleman for WFC's demise-took them away from Plough Lane-got Merton Council to remove the recreation clause on it so he could flog it off (and the general population of Merton weren't that bothered about it) had no intention of ever going back-his schemes were to move to Dublin or-weirdly-build a stadium in Baisingstoke. Dublin Dons / Baisingrad Dons ? The only argument-beyond the childish we hate MK tropes is to say that WFC should have been liquidated in 2002,an extra Conference side promoted to keep the 92 club structure,WFC reformed as they did and MK would have had to go up via promotion if they wanted league football. Another irony-AFC were so desperate to get back to Merton they ignored planning warnings and built the new Plough Lane on a flood plain-which even has local markers showing previous flood levels. Now they've got a sink hole and a ground likely to flood from time to time. Where will they go-again ?

[@slimpyjones2706]

Please don't resort to those stupid clickbait thumbnails of you looking shocked or surprised. Teenage vloggers do that.

[@NotTheTop20]

But what if I am shocked? How would you ever know?

[@Antony-ds1wh]

He was going to get sacked anyway

[@philipkelly85]

Poach 🤣🤣🤣 get ready for a bore fest of sideways backwards passing and short corners with no shots on target

[@covid-2031]

But I admit great pitch crap team 😂 so far anyway
