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...

Mick 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 s*** enough to wake the idiots in charge. Fail to beat Villa at home and we're in trouble. 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.

Al Moody Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I don't see him getting any more than 9 points from the remaining 13 games like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...
Pilko Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I don't see him getting any more than 9 points from the remaining 13 games like. It's a good thing we probably only need 6 or 7 to stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Worrying thing for me is the fact that we had the lead in the 3 we've drawn. Lead 3 times against Burnley - didn't win. Lead against Stoke - didn't win. Lead against Palace - didn't win. That's not just bad luck, the decisions he's taken during those 3 games when we've been sitting on a lead have meant taking 3 points when it could/should have been 9. To throw away a lead 5 times in 6 games is fucking frightening. The negativity and fear will take years to get rid of, it's the worst combination you can get - scared of losing the game and petrified when we're leading.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 We should basically already be on 40 points, which would be good because it would be easier to stop watching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes teams equalise, it's football and it happens but what can't be disputed is that he's already lost 6 points from winning positions and he's only been in charge for 6 games. Going ahead in a game is vital and he's fucked it up 3 times already. If he's in charge next season then we're in deep shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
