toon25 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The lot of them (coaching staff) were more interested in being popular and having a laugh than getting the best out the players. Like a strange David Brent parody. 'So JC, tell us about your staff' 'The playas, they're the legs...Mike, the brains...Lee the thumb' 'And which part are you John' 'The huuma'.

Guest firetotheworks Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Would you expect to find out that your contract at work was going to end via telephone after working for a company for 7 years, where your last act was stopping it from going tits up? Or would you at least expect a meeting in person and a thank you? Even if it was just with your line manager? It's abhorrent man, the decision being the right one and the person telling them being acceptable doesn't make the method of doing so any less pathetic and disrespectful. Even if he'd hung up and rang Jonas separately it would have been marginally better, but it seems that NUFC insists upon being a stomping ground for absolute arse holes.

Interpolic Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'd have been surprised if they did it any other way tbh. Par for the course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Surely they knew that their contracts where about to end? It's not like they are getting sacked, they are out of contract. In my work, I would have got a Fucking letter through the post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Don't care that Carver was the one to do it, he's their manager after all. It's not like he's done anything else as manager. Of course he did it in a shit way doing it over the phone, but what else can you expect at this point. The crater faced fucker has shit the bed at every possible point in his tenure.

The College Dropout Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Carver was told to do it. Well f*** me, a manager told to deal with players. Whatever next. He's the head coach. If he isn't the one making that decision I'm not sure those doing it should be hiding behind him. He's their manager, it's his job to do the ugly things even in football. That's how most of the world works if you are a manager. Carver being such a tart to his "mates", is more pathetic. If I was being let go at work, I would expect at least someone of Director level to tell me face to face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Can't really believe the club let them leave the stadium/training ground knowing they weren't going to renew their contracts. They might have been shit players but they weren't Nile Ranger, they deserve a bit of common decency. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The only major issue here, in my eyes, is that he asked Taylor to pass the phone to Jonas rather than calling Jonas separately. Informing them that their contracts would not be renewed is the job of the manager, just a shame that means the mumbling lickspittle Carver choosing the quickest and easiest way of doing so.

This, entirely. It's a manager's job to do this, I've done it countless times to staff. It's not nice, but there's no way on Earth that I'd phone someone to do it. You get them in, sit them down and have the decency to do it face to face. Carver might have been told to do this, which is quite right, but I can't imagine for a single moment that he was told to just ring them up and use only one phonecall to do it, and that there was no other way he was allowed to tell them. The man's a fucking idiot. I hope they sack him by sending the cunt a text. 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
