bhoywhonder Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 While he's obviously very good at other things that I won't pretend to know anything about, I do believe that Ashley's ruthlessness is the main reason for his dominance in his sector. Most people running a business will try to stick fairly closely to regulations (if only for fear of sanction), treat staff with a vague sense of compassion, occasionally do something that might affect the bottom line, and that's where Ashley beats them all. He's an extremely cold and calculating individual who'd push a granny in front of a bus to get to a pound coin. He's basically Mr Burns. Well put. And this time Monty Burns has a f*cking army of Smitherses toadying about to do his business. I imagine that dipsh*t carver was even trying to avoid eye contact whilst on the phone to Jonas. "Only following orders" eh john? Spineless, talentless, half-witted c*nt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Being such a cuntish club must get exhausting honestly. On the contrary I think it comes naturally to the wankers who own and run the club. This is their default, the fact we all find it so obnoxious speaks volumes of them as human beings. Well I guess that is the difference. I'd find it pretty tiring having to think of new, elaborate schemes/lies every day just so that I could continue to be as shit/incompetent/stupid/malicious as I wanted in running the club. It would be much easier to just run the club properly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 He's not the manager though. He's the head coach. He has no influence over contracts. Yes he does. He's part of a 3-man team that identify players. Charnley, Carr and Carver. That's how it worked with Pardew, that's how it'll work now and that's how it'll work going forward. The head coach WILL have a say, maybe not the biggest say, but he'll have a say on who comes in, who goes out and who is retained. No way Alan Pardew wanted rid of Nolan & Barton. No way Carver wanted rid of these two either. I'm not sure what your point is. As I said: The head coach is part of a 3 man team that decide who stays, goes and is offered a new contract. He is part of that team, but perhaps doesn't have the biggest say. He DOES have a say though, but even in an egalitarian system, 2 will always outvote 1.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I think it's fair to say that John Carver has never had any say on transfers, incoming (or lack thereof) or outgoing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 If they wanted him as manager, which everyone seems to think was NUFC's wet dream, they'll have asked his opinion or at the very least listened whilst he voiced it. As I say, the other 2 may have outvoted him, but he will have had his say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnMag Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 R. Taylor: "I had a chat with him and then he asked me to pass the phone to Jonas" I assume speaking about Charnley/finding out he's released Current NUFC regime is worst in PL history? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is there's no proof the Head Coach has any influence over contracts and transfers. At best the Head Coach seems to be allowed to bring in the odd player. In the majority we haven't renewed a first team players' contract since Colo's. We seem to try and get rid of players when they get close to having 2 years / 18 months left on their existing contracts. And there's a number of players i'm certain Pardew had zero say in their signing - MYM, Marveaux & Cabella spring to mind. Pardew banged on about 6'4ers for a good while - never materialised.
