We need a young manager who has more ambition than the club and we need one who has done something to prove that he's capable, McClaren isn't that person and it would be more of the same. He's a step up and Pardew and a step up on Carver but is that enough? Is that the best we should expect and wish for? The answer to that is both yes and no. Yes, that's probably the best we can expect with the clowns running the club. No, as supporters of the club we should want better. Bang on. Hardly an inspirational appointment but entirely predictable from a regime with zero ambition. I was one of the biggest Freddie Shepherd critics on here but I long for a time when we had some ambition/will to compete. It should never have come to this. I wouldn't hold Shepherd up as a shining light, getting managers in wasn't his strong point and it was one of my biggest problems with him. Souness, Roeder and Allardyce were terrible appointments.

His team have done exactly what ours have just done, switched off. I don't want another manager here who isn't capable of motivating his players and to make matters worse for him, Derby aren't a club that have set the bar at staying in the division. Unlike ours they had a target which meant they had to play from the first game to the last and he couldn't get them to do that. What would happen if he came here next season and we got to a position where the players thought they were safe? My guess is that we'd switch off again and that isn't good enough. I want a manager who can and will motivate players to do the best job that they can and McClaren doesn't seem to be that manager.

McClaren shouldn't even be in our thoughts after the end of season he's had.

I think he's a taxi driver now so I hope they are cut from the same cloth.

We'll still be aiming it to Williamson next week and he'll not even be in the ground.

The players clearly have no respect for Carver and why should they? He hasn't done a thing that I can look at and think that he could inspire anybody to do anything. People often go on about players wages and think that should be enough to motivate them, it isn't and never will be. Not having money might motivate you to do better and get money. Once you have it you need something else to get you going and Carver isn't going to give the players that. He's not helped by Ashley or Charnley as everybody on the planet must know our only ambition is to stay in the division. We got to 35 points and switched off because it looked like we were safe, Carver was also to blame for that as he was talking about "Free games." The players were motivated to get to 35 but not beyond that and Carver will not change that, he's a nobody with the charisma of a sewer rat and the players know that. He's a caretaker manager so they will also know/think that they will out-last him if anything goes wrong and they can just move to another club and pick up another stupid wage.

All the bloke's been asked to do is take over for the next couple of games, possibly till the end of the season, until there's a permanent appointment. Why not just wish the guy well and let him get on with it. Sorry, but all this sniping gets on my nerves.

He's rumoured to have handed in a transfer request.

I don't think Williamson tried to get sent off, he's not clever enough and I doubt he's devious enough. It was a shite and pathetic challenge from a player who has nowt between his lugs on a football pitch. Carver was bang out of order, he's as thick off the pitch as Williamson is on it.

I'm not on the wind up, I don't know if my mate is.

I've just come on here to say I've had a text off my mate saying Carver has been relieved of his duties, I guess he's been watching twitter.

That's desperation.

That's all we need, another puppet. If he fails next week we could always try Moncur.

I hope he did say that, even if it's true, it's going to cause him more problems in the dressing room.

He's been gutless today, you can excuse a shit performance but to not even try is a disgrace.
