Carlisles manager, Steven Pressley, frustrert over overgangen. Mener unge spillere får kontrakter for lett for tida. "I hans dager" måtte man fortjene en kontrakt.

Men vi kjenner vel igjen følelsen av å miste unge talenter til "de store klubbene"?
Dette er 'kjeden' med å miste spillere til klubber lenger oppe i divisjonssystemet, ja.
Man får et inntrykk av Josh' kvaliteter når en hører Carlislemanageren:
We got caught up in another manager's press conference today: we've signed 17-year-old scholar Josh Galloway, a midfielder who hasn't made his debut was impressive in pre-season, from Carlisle for an undisclosed fee; you might remember we took winger Liam McCarron from them for our Under-23s over the summer. At that point Carlisle were very happy with us, and talking about being loaned players in return; their manager Steven Pressley isn't best chuffed anymore, although he's not mad at us, he's mad at the system.
It's a long old rant, and I don't think he's wrong; the gist is that he wants Carlisle fans to at least get a glimpse of the players they're producing; that they're having to offer even slightly promising scholars a contract to try to put off bigger clubs, meaning youngsters don't have to earn a contract anymore ("In my day..."); if you don't do that, you lose the player and get a pittance from a tribunal; he thinks Galloway is taking a backwards step because even though our youth development is very good, he was close to Carlisle's first team, and would have developed faster by playing league football; "That's what the system is creating and it's incredible, it's not right ... We're forced into these things and that's what kind of angers me just now."
