Nigel Clibbens has said that Carlisle United’s financial boost from their televised FA Cup tie will not be used to repay debts.

Instead, the £75,000 broadcast fee from their game at Dulwich Hamlet, which was live on BBC 2, will be used by the club “for its day-to-day activities”.

The Blues chief executive also commented on the sales of youngsters Liam McCarron and Josh Galloway, and the potential benefits from former academy keeper Dean Henderson’s time at Manchester United.

Clibbens said the Blues have not received any of the Galloway fee yet and have only received some of the McCarron money.

He said cash received for the latter so far has also been spent on “day-to-day activities”, along with increasing the player budget and repairing the A Stand roof.

In written replies to users of thecumbrians.net forum via the Carlisle United Supporters’ Groups, Clibbens said: “The McCarron money has not been received in full. The part we have got so far has been retained in the club, some for its day-to-day activities, some for A Stand and the rest has gone into increasing the football player budget for this season.

“We have not received any cash in respect of the Galloway sale so far.

“We will decide what to do with the Galloway money and the rest of the McCarron money in the future. This a welcome future windfall that again makes us stronger.”

Clibbens, meanwhile, confirmed that Carlisle would benefit from a sell-on clause should keeper Henderson, currently on loan at Sheffield United, ever be sold by Manchester United.

He said there were other “contingent payments” in the west Cumbrian’s Old Trafford deal.

But he did not confirm details – such as whether an England cap for Henderson would benefit Carlisle financially – because to do so would be a breach of contract.

Henderson joined Manchester United from the Blues agead 14 in 2011.

Other details of the CUSG meeting, in newly-published minutes, saw the club claim they were aiming for the Cambridge home game on November 23 for their long-awaited new scoreboard to be in place.

A planned event by CUSG to commemorate the 1994/5 Division Three title and Wembley season had been scrapped because another event was being planned in the city for the same purpose.

“CUSG would seek to help support this event and potentially sell the planned 94-95 pin badges at it,” the minutes said. “The event was expected to benefit the Eden Valley Hospice.”
