Interviewer after the game asking if still wants the job, an how obviously the fans were behind him being appointed. Fucking press want nothing more than us to appoint someone shit like carver. Not least now the likes of de boer, tuchel and garde look like possibilities.

Talks today, decision due after Southampton game.

Draw would have been fair, but won't begrudge them the win even if they did fluke it with getting a penalty that shouldn't have been given and one waved away for Spurs that should have been.

Well who knows now but I was convinced he would be back in some capacity sooner or later. Wasnt it almost common knowledge he thought so too? So sad.

Encouraging. Still looks lacking in the end product but I think that will come with confidence.

Just like the free flowing football we were finally playing under Hughton, palace will probably continue to pass the ball neatly for a while until Pardew has fully coached them down to s**** again so he can impose his own brand of football on the squad.

Class from Anita there.

Williamson is comical. This second half has been an utter shambles. Came out from half time beaten with no intention to put up a fight. Pathetic stuff. You think we would have been hyped up by our first half performance. Manager aside we need a cb, winger and striker (for Perez to play off) pretty desperately.

Venables til the end of the season then

Love how our players give up and watch. Umm defend the goal?

Carver cringing at half time. Stone having a go at mourinho about the foul and carver just trying to pick up hugs and make friends..vote carver. You know Jose I knew Bobby too. To be fair to carver we had a good first half. We don't have anyone cclinical where it counts but I didn't expect him to fix that in two weeks. Not least when he hasnt in four years.

Stickers been sniffing the brown sauce too deeply again and has got confused. Stiflers fwend. http://i1.cdnds.net/11/28/550w_movies_inbetweeners_trailer_best_bits_8.jpg

We wouldn't be signing him for the Prestige. He will probably blow anyway.

Ched Evans player manager is more appealing than Carver tbf.

If its at all true I reckon he will watch from home or be sneaked into a directors box, but be in the stands for the Southampton game. Tuchel or De Boer seem more exciting appointments from the outside but there is probably not a better fit to our system as Ashley wants it then Garde. His role and experience at Lyon in various positions makes him ideal. My only reservation with Garde is that I think we are crying out for an inspiring figurehead and character, not only for the players but more to bring back together the fans and capture the cities imagination again. Garde seems more Glenn Roeder than KK. But results and the class and dignity that he seems to hold himself in will win fans over quickly. Garde will not only work great in a system that he is used to but also has a keen eye for spotting talent in our prime market, to work with Carr. His experience with youth teams and more importantly vision of using the youth is also surely an immediate flag for approval. He is available, said to actually want the job and will likely be affordable, more so than any of De Boer, Tuchel or Galtier.

Reaction to Carver telling him he better knuckle down because things will be different with Carver in charge full time.

Wow this thread has legs. Doesn't look like anything more than rumors though does it?

Can see them wanting to get past southampton. Won't want the new manager losing both their first games in charge which is likely. Then he has the two week break to assess. Hopefully they have marked someone and that person is watching and will be in the stands for the southampton game.

Surprised he isn't angling for a move to the MLS. Tommi is over here in the NASL.

Not surprised, horrible timing. Would have been hard to hide the tears on camera. Poor poisoned dwarf must have been a wreck on set.

Short term contract to the end of the season, will also join the coaching team for the rest of the season consisting of Carver, Stone and Woodman allowing Beardsley to resume his former role.

Well Ashley's number once choice is a bit far fetched seeing as he has apparently washed his hands of it and let charnley and Carr decide. Also if this was the case I'd imagine that would have been known before they put Carver in two game temporary charge. While they could be using this time to consider all options they must be looking for an appointment straight away or why not just say Carver is caretaker, not caretaker for the next two games. Putting that aside for a second if it was true it would be a disaster, unless de boer signed upfront. Still I honestly think we could go down with Carver in charge. He is useless. Idea also smacks of starve it off until the summer with no intention of getting De Boer or De Boer getting numerous better offers.Would bloodly love De Boer though. We need someone now. It's the perfect time to really assess the club and its players and try a few things. As someone already said, I would be happy to wait until the summer for de boer, providing he signs now and on the condition we get an interim until seasons end that isn't Carver.

Let's hope we get clement then! Meltdown.

So if we do appoint a foreigner and the fans are behind it like all of the paper polls suggest.. do we still hate anyone that isn't a Geordie? Does not compute.

This month's key phrase for coaches we blatantly aren't interested in!
