No matter who we get, most of the apathy is gone i think, which means that if Carver gets the job he'll be chased out of town very quickly if he fails to deliver. Same goes with most other managers unless it's a known quality manager that the fans might be prepared to have more patience with.
No matter what happens next, getting rid of Pardew is such a MASSIVE step in the right direction, absolutely massive. Hopefully we'll get a good one from the start instead of wasting more years, again.
