Thinking of Cabella working under Garde... Please make it so...

People will vote for him... ....because he's worth it.

Thought of having to wait until the hull game is unthinkable. Not having new signings and a manager in place for this short training break and two weeks break is also unthinkable. Perfect time to be integrating. If something isn't announced my Monday i will be livid. No excuses. 3 weeks is plenty of time for "due dilligence" they aren't writing a thesis on each bloody manager. On the upside I get the impression they absolutely wouldn't tell carver they had hired garde until after the southampton game. I think he is almost as in the dark as we are. That should be a good sign if there wasn't the underlying feeling of dread that charnley and co are just fixing to stich us up again.

This. Good start, concede sloppy goal then fall apart. Late consolation goal.Then carver hired immediately after.

Madness from Burnley.. don't they know they are gambling with their financial future trying to win an FA Cup game. Surely can't compete on two fronts.

Can't see Mapou being happy to sit out half a season just to stay there. On the flipside equally as stupid that we don't recall him when we need a CB. I guess the recall fee must be more money than we deem worth it.. Eg; 1p and up... We will absolutely play hardball with them. The club wants rid, if we recall him, Roma get money off us and maybe still get to sign him at a reduced fee in the summer. We will try and force their hand into playing him and activating his buy clause. No doubt Mapou and his agent will be pushing them as well.

Coloccini's best mate was treated terribly by Pardew when he had a cancer, yet Coloccini defended him publically to preserve his own position in the side. He certainly wouldn't want to risk an astute manager coming in and taking him out of the side. Take him out for who? He will probably end up back in Argentina at the end of the season anyway.

He is royally screwed by the looks of things. Absolutely ridiculous from FIFA though. Wouldn't even be able to come back to us on loan to play as that would be a fourth move. Like the idea of MLS.. expect Fifa would do something stupid like saying he would only be eligible when the English and French Leagues had finished. Wonder if anyone at the club knew this and kept quite. Nice should have absolutely done their due diligence before signing him.

thought this too. In the Championship next year?

I wince, hold my breath and brace myself everytime open this thread and read "ugh". Thankfully no offical news to report on the situation, but you its just too familiar the feeling that something grim is a-comin'.

Well the closest to factual information we know is.. - we want a head coach with experience working in his type of set up. - Carver knows and has been quoted saying he is in charge until after the southampton game. - We have denied speaking to s couple of coaches but havent denied the widely reported garde meetings. What's open to conjecture dependent on what side of optimism/pessimism/scepticism you are on is whether we are looking or carver is the choice all along and this is all shenanigans to make it look like we tried. On the optimistic side; We reportedly wanted to wait until then because of the break and let's be honest if true they wouldn't want the new guy to start with two probably losses. With Carver; While there is no certainty the people we want or have spoken to will accept the position on our terms they need carver kept sweet in case talks fall through. I would certainly enjoy this whole media blackout if there wasn't a large part of myself doubting the above and that we are looking for a decent hire. When it came out that carver would be in charge against Chelsea and southampton we had a two week wait.. it continues to be agony and I don't think we will hear anything until early next week which already still seems like two weeks away in terms of Paranoia and worry.

He is also increasingly injury prone. Be surprised if he wasn't on the treatment table for a chunk of time this season.

Exactly.. Garde would have the rest of the season to settle in and use our current coaches to learn about the club, area, players etc, while also being relatively untouchable in terms of accountability for results and performances til the end of the season. No brained to start early and use this as a test run and get his feet under the table.

oops, yeah sorry should have specified Toronto! Although that is arguably more crazy! Not least as he is also being linked to Arsenal at the same time.

Confirmed according to TSN over here: http://www.tsn.ca/toronto-fc-completes-swap-deal-altidore-to-toronto-defoe-to-sunderland-1.181889 Giovinco Is another coup for them, although he is made of glass.

Morrison is likely of our league if you ask the likes of Edwards and howey.

I'd rather have JFK. At least he adds humour to disaster. This. Honestly I would rather have JFK than Carver. Absolute f***ing joke. Like a few others have said that quite possibly me out for the rest of the season or until carver is gone. Ashley's intentions are quite clear if this does happen .

No labia.. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-deny-german-reports-8433836?

People forgetting how awful pardew made Jonas at football.

Hang on, he was blatantly jumping on mourinho for hugs.. Even when stone was having a go at him at half time. Carver ditched stone and leeched himself unto Jose. Same before the game too. No doubt Jose would love him in charge another easy 3 points guaranteed. Carver is equally as detestable as the king.. Hope he is long gone sooner rather than later.

Defoe to mackems with altidore going in the opposite direction. Looks very possible.

Jumping ahead a bit here, but hypothetically if we are going for Garde and this week but want him to just be in the stands against Southampton we should use the below to our advantage... Nice snippet from .com. Didn't see it posted, apologies if so.

Meh none of the press have a clue. Didn't from the start. If its one story in the 30 they have shoveled out knowing our luck it would be this one. If its Carver til the end of the season I'm putting money on palace finishing above us. Grimmest of the grim.
