Not an episode we were looking forward to recording, but it had to be done, as we discuss the departure of Blues boss (and legend) Paul Simpson, following a third defeat in four games to start the season.

Whatever you think about how the last two seasons have gone, there can be no doubt that Simmo will go down as one of our greatest and should be respected for that.

Lots covered in this episode of the Bugle, including:

⚽ Tranmere match review

⭐ Omari's match-winning return

😭 Simmo's departure

🤔 Where did it all go wrong?

🔜 Potential replacements

We’re delighted to confirm that the Carlisle United Official Supporters Club (CUOSC) will be sponsoring the Brunton Bugle this season.

CUOSC, formed originally in 2001 as CCUIST, 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 CUOSC and how to join on their website www.cuosc.org.uk, or you can contact them on X at @cuosc

As part of this sponsorship, we’ll be working closely with CUOSC 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!
