Documents filed with Companies House confirm the director and co-owner’s return to the board of CUFC Holdings, which has the major say on strategic decisions at the club including investment.
The move was first announced by the club last October as part of a reorganisation of the two boards at Brunton Park, which also includes the operational Carlisle United (1921) Ltd board.
Pattison resigned as a director of the holding company during the Andrew Lapping investment talks of 2015, but was reappointed following last summer’s arrival of chief executive Nigel Clibbens.
Lord Clark of Windermere’s appointment to the board of the holding company – which owns 94 per cent of the club – has also been confirmed with Companies House.
Both he and Pattison had previously sat on the operational board, but they, along with chairman Andrew Jenkins, resigned those positions in favour of a seat on the holdings board.
The only person to sit on both boards is co-owner and “director of external affairs” John Nixon.
The moves come while there is still no resolution to United’s talks with a potential overseas investor after some 605 days.
The Blues hierarchy has yet to respond to a News & Star request for an update on talks with the person previously described as a “billionaire”.
