Carver said: “One of the lads actually said to me: “Are you threatening me?” I said no come and see my afterwards and I will explain to you. He obviously thought I was (threatening).

“There was no way in the world I was doing that. I did that once before (Southampton) and I said then I'd not get involved in something like that again and I ain't.

That sentence man :lol: Just sums it up really.

However, Carver’s version of events has been contradicted by eye-witness accounts and Ms Choake insisted she felt the club’s head coach had been overly aggressive.

“I saw it with my own eyes, having gone to support the team,” she said in an interview with the Newcastle Chronicle. “I used to have sympathy for him but not anymore - I won’t go back while he is still there.

“After the third Swansea goal went in and everyone was so frustrated, a guy two rows in front of me started to ask questions of John and then John responded so unprofessionally.

“He shouted back, ‘what do you want me to do about it’ and said that he wanted to take the argument outside in a threatening manner. He then used swear words and I am 100% sure of that.

 

It's okay Mike, it's only our football club's name being dragged through the gutter. Carry on John.

Disgusting behaviour and instant dismissal in most places I would assume, or at least suspension pending enquiry.

FFS If I offered just half the people I work with 'outside' everytime you are frustrated by them, I would spend more time outdoors than in...

 

Oh and Shearer can f*** off as well with his JC 'He's passionate about the club' bollocks he came out with on MOTD...Outside Alan!

What do we want him to do about it?

 

1) Stop playing Mike Williamson.

2) Stop playing Ryan Taylor.

3) Stop even considering to play Gouffran and Obertan.

4) Get Arbeid on the field from the start.

5) Resign

6) Take out your aggression on Mike Ashley

There's no way imaginable he can get kept on for next year is there?

 

Hopefully him getting nowhere near the job will be some consolation but it's gonna be rinse and repeat next season.

 

The club is rotten from top to bottom. It almost feels as though the publicity Sports Direct get from the coverage of the club is actually a positive thing for the FCB. If we were doing ok and we're finishing between 7th and 10th we would be a non entity like Southampton or Swansea. That also wouldn't get much coverage in the media

I think some of the stuff about zero hours contracts, shoddy working conditions etc he doesn't mind about.  It's basically publicising it as "This shop is absolutely fucking dirt cheap because they're a bunch of scummy bastards" which people may cluck their tongue at, but when it comes to needing a pair of new shorts people will go "Fuck it, I'll go to Sports Direct, I know it will be cheaper than everywhere else because they're so dodgy."  This stuff about the scamming in terms of shutting down a store and claiming there's massive discounts due to that, then opening next door with exactly the same prices as were in the closing down sale, that might make people reassess that assumption.

If we find ourselves in the drop zone, I could see them chucking in Beardsley for the last few games to motivate the players etc, as worked so fantastically with Shearer.

 

Would probably be better to chuck him on to the pitch.

And chuck Carver in the crowd.

A couple of cousins of mine played against Beardsley in one of those club-organised games you can buy a couple of years ago. Said Beardsley scored 6 goals in the space of 10 minutes without breaking sweat. One of them's a decent athlete in his early 20s and said Beardsley did him for pace time after time.

 

So yeah, I'd play him.

Thing is if you buy better players you need a better coach. When you buy players with resale potential it seems crackers that we don't put the right coaching staff in place to further develop them.

 

Personally I think if someone comes in to buy the club Ashley will probably snap their hand off. You can imagine that he will have a parting gift like keeping control of the retail outlets and signing long term deals to his advantage over the kits and the sports direct hoardings.

 

I just can't get my head around the way he runs the club when he is apparently an astute businessman. We ensure we have the right people in situ to do jobs at work effectively. If they under perform it is managed. I can't imagine Penfold sitting down and giving Carver a talking to......

I totally agree, I just mean that a couple of better players could lead to an extra 5 points or so, safety assured a bit early and job done. Even with Carver.
