STM Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 He's prepared to give the fans an insight into the dressing room, and honesty about his feelings but he's naive. It's refreshing compared to Pardews self-congratulatory bullshit but Carver is hopelessly out of his depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's refreshing compared to Pardews self-congratulatory bullshit but Carver is hopelessly out of his depth. Moving away from his talent in the dugout/on the training pitch - that post summarises his constant media presence quite well. You would think the board recognise how much less PR savvy he is than their last man. Something to cling onto. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Aye, there's a good reason why managers don't bare their soul and reveal every detail. Some of the "old boy" characters get away with it, like Redknapp, and that's why they become media favourites. When Carvers hands are tied behind his back and he's bent over by the club, he will soon collapse like a pack of cards. It's easy when you have a nice win under the belt but when's forced to play players he doesn't like or has to defend the club's decision making, that's when we will see the real John Carver.

Yorkie Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Aye, I just don't think all this "let me tell you..." gunk has a place in the modern game. Most of us saw through Pardew's bullshit but he was undeniably savvy and collected in front of a camera. In terms of saying anything remotely negative about the board, I can only recall him slipping once during his entire time here, sat on the Goals On Sunday sofa, but never again. Carver though, you can definitely picture him losing the plot in an interview, because he's a different sort of man to the snake that was Pardew. Until then, though, he's toe-ing the party line just as his predecessor did and my respect for him will wain with every passing soundbite. Calling Sissoko a new signing, for example - fuck off, man. He's come out with the cliche joke right there. I've said this before, but it's a shame because he's been involved in the club during moments where I've felt the most proud.

Ste Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 "Mike is a strong character who has been a success in his whole business life and is a genius in that world - but when you come to football, the logic doesn't quite fit. He loves football but he sometimes can't understand how it works and it confuses and upsets him, and when he is upset, he does things that aren't brilliant for the football club."

Flip Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Nothing brave about it when he just drops Sissoko into Anita's role. Well Sissoko offers far more than Anita from a deep position. And yeah it's not brave, it's just football but Pardew wouldn't do that would he. If he did Sissoko be playing that QB role of his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it offers a marginal amount more from deep, but it appears to be a far more gung-ho substitution than it really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
