Its definitely Carver because the fat man doesnt pay any regard to results as is evidenced by his failure to sack Parsnip after only 5 wins in 2014, up until his little purple patch of wins.
All fat man looks at is the balance sheet. Carver is the cheapest option and is already in situ, plus we do have some good players coming back from injury, so the likes of De Jong, Aarons, Obertan, Abeid, Santon et al who were all showing good form before injury, will be like new signings during the January transfer window, so fat man will have allowed himself to be persuaded that Carver can give us a mid table finish even if Sissoko is sold.
Mark my words well....this was decided the day they let Parsnip go to Palace. This talk about Garde, Laudrup et al is just media talk.
