Carlisle United director responds to rumours amid ongoing 'review'

Yahoo09-05-2025
A member of the Piatak family that owns Carlisle United has hit back at rumours - and insisted that the "review" into the Blues' struggles will not be rushed.
Jenna DeMasi used social media platform X to respond to supporters amid speculation over the Blues.
Amid a rumour that players had been asked for their view on the relegated club's next head coach, DeMasi said the squad were NOT deciding who would be in charge.
Instead, she suggested that the ongoing wait for news was because of the thoroughness of the review into the club.
And she stressed that owner and chairman Tom Piatak was at the club every day in a bid to ensure the best outcomes.
No, it's not true. We are doing a full review and speaking to EVERYONE on the football side. No player is deciding who the coach. This review cannot be rushed and no steps are being skipped. The chairman is at BP daily working on this, we all want what's best for CUFC.

"We are doing a full review and speaking to EVERYONE on the football side.
"No player is deciding who [is] the coach.

"This review cannot be rushed and no steps are being skipped. The chairman is at BP daily working on this, we all want what's best for CUFC."
The director's remarks amount to the first public comments from anyone in power at Brunton Park since the end of the season.
It comes as United remain in discussions over whether Mark Hughes will remain as head coach, with decisions still also to be confirmed on the club's retained and released list, where 11 players are out of contract.
The club are also yet to confirm season ticket prices for the 2025/26 season, when United will be playing in the National League after back-to-back relegations.
Tom Piatak, after the penultimate game of the season at Cheltenham Town saw relegation from League Two confirmed, said a "top to bottom" review of the club would be taking place, and that there would be "no sacred cows" when it came to the decisions needed to put Carlisle on a more positive path.
The club have so far made no further comment through their official channels.

MLB playoffs to start Sept. 30, World Series opener Oct. 24

Major League Baseball will launch the 2025 playoffs on September 30 with the 121st World Series to start on October 24, the league announced on Tuesday. Six teams from both the National and American leagues will advance to the post-season, starting with four best-of-three wildcard series running from September 30 to Thursday October 2. The best-of-five divisional series will be played from October 4-11, setting up the best-of-seven league championship series from October 12-21. The best-of-seven World Series will begin at the home of the league champion with the better record on October 24. Should it be needed, game seven would be played on November 1. With just over six weeks remaining in the regular season, the Toronto Blue Jays have the best record in the American League at 69-50 just ahead of Detroit (69-51) while in the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers own MLB's best record at 74-44. js/jc

Major League Baseball announces dates of playoff games, in case Brewers fans are interested

Major League Baseball released its schedule for the upcoming MLB postseason, which should highly interest Milwaukee Brewers fans watching their 74-44 team possessing the best record in baseball midway through August. The schedule follows its traditional custom from past years, with the best-of-three Wild Card series beginning the Tuesday after the regular season ends. In 2025, that means the games will run Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2 (Tuesday through Thursday), with the winners advancing to the division series. The Brewers, if their record finishes among the two best in the National League, won't have to worry about that part of the postseason and will advance straight to the NL Division Series, which begins Friday, Oct. 4. That means the Brewers would, as it stands today, have four days off before their first playoff game, hosted at American Family Field. The NLDS series will run Oct. 4-11. The NL Championship Series will run Oct. 13-21, with the World Series from Oct. 24-Nov. 1. The World Series will air on Fox, while the NLCS and NLDS will run on Turner networks like TBS. The wild-card series will air on ESPN networks. Times and opponents, of course, remain up in the air.

Do Yankees, Mets Skids Have New York Baseball Headed For Empty October?

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. After being at the forefront of the bidding war for Juan Soto and the largest contract in Major League Baseball history, the pair of New York teams looked to both be headed back to October this season. That was until the past two weeks, the New York Yankees entered Tuesday 3-7 in their last 10 games, and the New York Mets are 1-9 in the same span, and on a seven-game losing streak. NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 04: Juan Soto #22 of the New York Mets scores a run during the third inning ahead of the throw to J.C. Escarra #25 of the New York Yankees... NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 04: Juan Soto #22 of the New York Mets scores a run during the third inning ahead of the throw to J.C. Escarra #25 of the New York Yankees at Citi Field on July 04, 2025 in New York City. More Photo byAfter a strong start to the season that saw the Yankees 35-22 as the calendar flipped to June, the Bronx Bombers have not seen a winning record in any month since. August is on pace to be the Yankees' worst month, and with two teams, the Cleveland Guardians and the Texas Rangers, within three games of the final spot, the Yankees are entering crunch time. Much like their American League counterpart, the Mets started strong, but have faltered of late, falling to the final wild-card spot in the National League. A strong July has helped the Mets fend off the field for now, but in the second half of the season, the Mets are 8-13 entering Tuesday. After being buyers at the trade deadline, including revamping their bullpen with the addition of Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers, the Mets have stumbled through August with a 1-8 record during the month. The Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals are knocking on the door, with both teams being within three games of the Mets. The Yankees have the best chance to keep playoff baseball in New York, as they have the fourth-easiest schedule remaining, while the Mets have the ninth-hardest. Both teams were streaking early, but with a little under two months to play, they find themselves in danger of taking an early vacation.
