It's shocking isn't it, what Bobby saw in that guy, heaven knows. Just finished watching the highlights again oon NUFC.TV, it's nice to hear the radio newcastle guys commentating. Anyway after the highlights ended there's a link to other random videos and the bottom row, consists of interviews with Pardew, Carver, McClaren and Sissoko, so glad none of those are still around the club today.
I've said it elsewhere but I feel SBR saw him as a good enough lieutenant; someone to enforce and carry out a general's larger vision. Carver was never a general himself and it's shown. Just different kinds of people.
