    John Carver

    A sharp football brain 'since he was 18'? What the fuck is? Genuinely reminded me of a North Korean propaganda piece
  2. Carr can recommend whoever he wants but there's a reason we ended up with Kinnear, Hughton, and Pardew as our last three managers. The contract we put on the table will contain a laughably low wage, completely one-sided severance terms (very little compo if sacked but owes NUFC millions if chooses to leave), and zero authority beyond training the first team and picking the matchday squad. The only people who will take that deal are either desperate, completely unproven, friends with Ashley, or all of the above.

    Ashley will stretch this out for as long as possible to deflect attention from the transfer window. Carver will get the job permanently or be appointed "caretaker" until the end of the season at the end of January.

    Got us a point closer to safety and got us eliminated from that pesky cup thing. Done a perfect job for Ashley. I expect a permanent contract before the end of the month.

    And his name will be John Carver. "I couldn't get any signings over the line because my interim status left things in doubt..."

    Yeah, I'm all for not writing off players too early but I think this guy is done. 16 goals in the last 4 matches. Time to bring somebody in on loan.

    Ashley is probably banging down his door to give him a permanent contract based on that performance.
  8. Somewhere out there Pardew is sipping some expensive scotch, shaking his head, and saying "should have kept it tighter at the back Jon."
  9. Jesus, I knew Pardew was shit but I certainly wasn't expecting this kind of instant improvement.

    The club is broken forever. We might as we'll get some humor out of it.

    I feel like I'm going to hate this guy just as much as Pardew when he gets the permanent job

    I do have this odd feeling that he'd be a fantastic manager Pretty intellectual guy, big hit in the dressing room, not a huge ego. The signs are all there
  13. Thing is, if we make a step up and are finishing in and around sixth or seventh every year, we'd start wanting Ashley to invest even more and push for Champions League. Expectations are a dangerous thing from his perspective. He wants to keep us in a safely mediocre space where progress looks hopeless so nobody will ever push him to spend more of the club's money.
  14. Probably just journalists recycling old Newcastle stories
  15. I will consider anyone with any sort of managerial experience within the past three years to be a coup
  16. I fully expect we'll lose this heavily just so Pardew can gloat and make our lives miserable

    Oddly specific that they're in charge for "Burney and Leicester." Seems to imply that someone will be brought in after that. This is coming dangerously close to giving me hope.
  18. They won't, but we can at least enjoy the moment.
