Carlisle sporting director Clarkson leaves after relegation
Carlisle have confirmed the exit of sporting director Rob Clarkson "with immediate effect" following the club's unsuccessful battle against relegation from League Two.
The Cumbrians lost their struggle to stay in the Football League when they were beaten 3-2 at Cheltenham Town on Saturday.

And the club has wasted little time in trimming their operation in preparation for a season in the National League by parting company with Clarkson.
Clarkson has only been at Brunton Park for six months, having been appointed in October last year after five years heading up scouting at Glasgow Rangers.
The club confirmed the news in a short statement, two days after their relegation was confirmed.
"Everyone at the club would like to thank Rob for his service and wish him well for the future," the statement added. "A further update will be provided in due course."
Carlisle owner and Florida-based businessman Tom Piatek offered a public apology for the club's relegation, the first time in 20 years they have dropped out of the EFL.

The ownership group insisted they would initiate a "full, top to bottom review" of all operations at the club including football performance and recruitment, promising change where it was needed.
Talks with manager Mark Hughes about whether he will stay on to lead them in the fifth tier were also said to be "ongoing and positive".

Southwest Florida is now seeing properties languishing on the market for months — what's behind this trend
The previously hot real estate market of southwest Florida has recently seen a worrying slowdown. Properties that would typically sell quickly are now sitting unsold for months, sparking concerns among homeowners and real estate professionals. Darleen Strange has been trying to sell her mother's home in Fort Myers since last November. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) 'It makes me wonder, is it ever gonna happen?' she told WINK News. 'It's been on the market for about 157 days. We've only had four people come look at it.' Data suggests the situation in southwest Florida may be an indicator of broader challenges in the real estate market across the state. Fort Myers homeowners face growing frustration as their homes are taking longer to sell than they expected. Local data shows properties are now sitting on the market for an average of almost 100 days — a sharp contrast to a couple of years ago when homes spent closer to 50 days on the market. 'I had one property that was on the market for 10 months and it didn't sell,' Fort Myers-area realtor Sue Christiano told Gulf Coast News Today. 'We got offers, but they were all lowball.' This isn't just a Fort Myers problem. Similar slowdowns are occurring in cities across Florida, including major metropolitan areas like Tampa Bay and Miami. In south Florida, homes are now taking 90 days to sell, according to CBS News Miami — compared to 60 days a few years ago. In Tampa Bay, the average number of days houses stay on the market has jumped as well, with ABC Action News reporting a rise in inventory and a shift to what agents are calling a buyer's market. For Strange, who told WINK News that she needs the proceeds from selling her mother's home to cover her mother's assisted-living expenses, the market cooling couldn't have happened at a worse time. 'We're getting into the point where if something doesn't happen within the next year, it'll be a very scary situation,' she said. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it The housing slowdown happening across Florida reflects national trends in the U.S., including high mortgage rates, soaring home insurance premiums and high listing prices. Treasury yields, which influence consumer borrowing costs, have risen. Fixed 30-year mortgage rates in the U.S. are close to 6.9%. Rising mortgage rates reduce prospective homebuyers' purchasing power. For those thinking about buying a home, an increase in mortgage payments, by potentially hundreds of dollars per month, can mean the difference between deciding to buy a home or not. Insurance costs have also skyrocketed in Florida, where natural disasters like hurricanes and flooding have sharply driven up premiums. In fact, climate-driven disasters are driving up insurance premiums across the U.S. For example, in midwestern states, hail storms have caused premiums to rise rapidly and some insurers are even refusing to cover homes in vulnerable areas. According to the Wall Street Journal, severe storms cost insurers $58 billion in 2024. The Consumer Federation of America says U.S. homeowners have faced a 24% increase in home insurance premiums in the past three years. Additional insurance costs are another factor further deterring potential buyers from entering the market. Added to all of this are the inflated home prices still lingering from the housing boom during the pandemic. This combination of factors is creating a challenging environment for both buyers and sellers. The good news is that the housing slowdown in Florida seems to reflect a market correction rather than a crash. Yes, home prices in the state have fallen over the past year, but only around 3%, and they are stabilizing. The slowdown has triggered an inventory buildup in cities like Fort Myers in the southwestern part of the state, which could prolong the market correction in these areas. The more worrying long-term impact may be related to the rising cost of insurance. If premiums continue to rise at the current rate, it could put home ownership beyond the reach of first-time buyers. According to the Bipartisan Policy Center, some homeowners are choosing to forgo insurance altogether, potentially putting their No. 1 asset at huge risk. What's more, as insurers exit some markets due to climate risks, it could also affect the equity of existing homeowners. So, while the housing market in Florida does not appear to be collapsing, there does appear to be an affordability crisis created by rising mortgage and insurance costs. This could transform who can afford to buy a home, in what areas they can do so and what degree of risk they incur. Rich, young Americans are ditching the stormy stock market — here are the alternative assets they're banking on instead Robert Kiyosaki warns of a 'Greater Depression' coming to the US — with millions of Americans going poor. But he says these 2 'easy-money' assets will bring in 'great wealth'. How to get in now This tiny hot Costco item has skyrocketed 74% in price in under 2 years — but now the retail giant is restricting purchases.

Utilizing cotton-linen gabardines, Japan denim, and lightweight Super 140s wool, the label offers a range of core garments characterized by the label's functional, minimalist ethos. HAVEN opts for a light and neutral color palette inspired by the woodland coast of Vancouver, led by tones of beige, sage green, brown, off-white, and indigo.
