Carlisle United are now as long as 90/1 for relegation - having been 6/5 only a month ago.

The Blues' dramatically lengthening odds is further evidence of the remarkable upturn under Paul Simpson.

The Cumbrian manager has led Carlisle to five wins out of six, building a 12-point cushion above the drop zone.

And bookmakers now reckon the riske of going into the National League is slimmer than ever.

Both Betfair and Paddy Power price United as 90/1 to go down.

Their relegation odds are also long with other bookmakers, with Bet365 and William Hill offering 80/1.

BetVictor have United at 66/1 to go down with SkyBet offering 50/1.

Bet365 had the Cumbrians as just 6/5 to go down as recently as February 22 - the day before Simpson's appointment.

The 55-year-old has since enjoyed the best start of any manager in the club's history by winning five of his first six league games.

After last weekend's win at Barrow, Simpson said he felt one more win would probably be enough to secure 18th-placed Carlisle's League status.

Bottom side Scunthorpe United are now 1/500 with Bet365 and William Hill to go down.

John Sheridan's second-bottom Oldham Athletic are 1/3 with BetVictor.

Third-bottom Stevenage, who recently appointed Steve Evans as their new boss, are 7/2 to go down.

United's fellow Cumbrians Barrow, under new boss Phil Brown, range from 7/1 to 12/1.
