Retained List, Manager Update and Potential Transfer Targets - Departures from Brunton Park and who could be coming in next season? - Season 25/26, Episode 49

So we're twelve days on from the play-off semi-final defeat to Boreham Wood and we're still none-the-wiser on who will be the manager next season. As it stands, Mark Hughes' rolling contract remains in place but the club nor the manager himself have yet to confirm this - is it time for an update?!

While the manager's future is still unclear, the retained list is now out and it's pretty much as expected, bar one surprise departure (and one unexpected professional contract we weren't aware of!). We look back at the main news from BP this week and also discuss where United need to strengthen and who they could target to fill those roles...

Lots discussed in this episode, including:

We’re delighted to confirm that the Carlisle United Supporters Trust (CUST) will be sponsoring the Brunton Bugle once again this season.

CUST, formed originally in 2001 as CCUIST and later known as CUOSC, is the supporters' trust for Carlisle United. They are a community benefit society, with a one member-one vote democratic structure. They currently have 10% voting control of the club's holding company CUFC Holdings Ltd and are members of the Football Supporters' Association (FSA).

You can find out more about the Supporters Trust and how to join on their website www.cust.org.uk, or you can contact them on X at @CUFCTrust

As part of this sponsorship, we’ll be working closely with the Trust to provide some additional content this season – keep an eye out for these episodes soon!

-----------------

We've had a few people asking how they can contribute financially towards the pod over the last few seasons - we do this podcast because we love our club and are happy to do it for free, but if you'd like to make a contribution that can help towards hosting, online studio or equipment costs, we would be extremely grateful.

It would go a long way to help us keep providing content for the Blues fanbase across the world for the 2024-25 season!

You can now do this on our Ko-Fi page - ko-fi.com/bruntonbugle. Any donation is really appreciated!
