That's a load of bollocks, most of the lads I went to games with under Keegan and Bobby stopped going under Ashley and I include myself in that. It wasn't the older ones asking Pardew to give them a wave.
I would have accepted Carver as caretaker but not after seeing how we've performed in his two games. The first half against Burnley was a breath of fresh air, the 2nd half and his inablility to do anything to influence the game was frightening.
Charnley and Carr will almost certainly pick the new manager with Ashley having to agree. Mort appointed Keegan and Llambias appointed up to an including Pardew.
Carver getting the job would be a bigger show of us having no ambition than when the club told the fans forum that we were only interested in survival.
