Mike Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Think there are enough worse teams than us to ensure safety, so I'm pretty much hoping the end of the season is shit enough to wake the idiots in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they set the success criteria for Carver in their statement that the target was still 10th. I don't think they will give it to him full time unless he gets at the very least close to that. The way it looks right now, that's not looking very likely especially with the upcoming fixture list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Carver doesn't have a single independent thought in his brain, all he's known for 4 years is Pardball, he doesn't know how to think anything else up of his own accord. Keegan, Robson, they're too long in the past for him to remember the tactics, formations, philosophy or man management. Certainly not with these players. He's just another sheep and another yes man, unfortunately the latter "quality" is the main requirement for the full time position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Incandenza Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I've been unsure how to describe John Carver to friends who support other teams. Eventually, the analogy I settled on was that he was Newcastle's answer to Homer Simpson. Hes lovable but dense and utterly incompetent, and the longer he stays in the job the closer I will get to a Frank Grimes meltdown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If you could guarantee a good owner, yes. Be annoying if we just got Ashley's even fatter, more evil brother. Hires Ashley as manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Sick of the bullshit from everyone. The managers exaggerate their atrocious performances by making it sound like they're doing a good job and the journalists don't do their homework and haven't a clue what they're talking about. It's time someone started calling them out on their shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 His 6 points from 6 games would equate to a 38 point season which would have us around the relegation zone. When you consider his 6 points have consisted of a win at a woeful Hull, a lucky draw at home to Burnley, and 2 awful performances in draws v Stoke and Palace it's a very poor start he's made (I haven't included Leicester in the cup). If, as expected, he's given the job full time in the summer expect 30,000 crowds next season followed by relegation. He's so far out of his depth as a PL manager it's embarrassing.

Ketsbaia Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I know this is Ashley we're dealing with, but he won't risk that TV money on John Carver - who'll soon be racking up defeats left, right and centre. While he may con the board into thinking 6 points from 6 is good, he won't be able to mask the next 2 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bada Bing Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I don't really share the pessimism that he might get the job. Considering how frightened the club are of relegation & Carver having absolutely no credible track record to suggest he's capable enough, I don't think he'll get it even if we scrape 10th. Relegation would be a huge possibility and gates would definitely go down. Even by our new pitiful standards he's too much of a risk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
