Just had a little peek on the Carlisle forum. Safe to say they're not to enamoured about Mr Slade getting the job,

Got to say that I found this comment very interesting though. I wonder what they've based their thoughts on for that!

Quoted Text
Grimsby are a much smaller club than us with far less potential or expectation and he couldn't manage a mid table finish in league 2 that would have kept them happy.

Slade blew his big chance at Cardiff. How these journeymen keep getting chance after chance in the game is beyond me. Old mans club. Oh hang on....

Some of these forum types that have delusions of grandeur make my sides split. I would suggest that pretty much every balanced, intelligent football supporter with some sense of relative club standing would consider Grimsby Town and Carlisle United as clubs of about equal size.

Well, in my lifetime I'd say we've enjoyed more success than they have. I remember us beating them 6-0 in a League Cup game in the late 90s when Buckley was still in charge, and I considered them lower league fodder along with the likes of Colchester, Shrewsbury, etc.

And when we slipped through the leagues down to their level, they went out of the league.

Then they came back up, so from around 2006 onwards they can perhaps argue that they've been ahead of us, having spent time in L1 while we had our own spell in non-league.

Only if you're under the age of 20 would you say Carlisle are a bigger club than us - and that's mostly based on league position. I don't know what their attendances are like.

Things like stature change over time so it's only really the here and now that counts. I'd have never said Burton or Yeovil are bigger than us but both clubs have been several divisions ahead of us at various points in recent history.

It’s alright Slade can now apply for the Leeds job since they’ve just sacked yet another manager.

Blimey, he hardly got comfy in the seat did he.

According to the BBC Leeds are now looking to appoint their 10th manager since 2014!

Average attendance for last year Grimsby 4657, Carlisle 4656. Yep, they're so much bigger than us.

I think Carlisle are perhaps a little 'bigger' than us on average as their catchment is a good bit bigger because they are the only pro club in that neck of the woods, but there's really not much in it. Even more remote than us, however!

Guessing Heckinbottom will now head back to Barnsley!
