Haven't heard that for ages, it needs to make a come back.

Greatest Sopranos episode of all time.

 

Love the relationship between Paulie and Christopher.

All the bloke's been asked to do is take over for the next couple of games, possibly till the end of the season, until there's a permanent appointment.

Why not just wish the guy well and let him get on with it.

Sorry, but all this sniping gets on my nerves.

Unrelenting support.

You do remember Southampton away don't you ?

[thenige]

FFS, have we started on Carver already?

 

Give the guy a break.

 

Ask Leeds fans if he's a good manager.

 

Ask Leeds fans if Brian Clough is a good manager.

With Newcastle determined to appoint a head coach rather than a traditional manager Carver has become a very realistic option for Mike Ashley, who has favoured internal appointments at United. While he stopped short of declaring his hand, Carver’s intentions appeared clear – and if he did get the job he says his ambition would be to shoot for the top four.

 

“My ambition is definitely still the same, without a shadow of the doubt,” he said.

 

“Any player would snap your hand off to play in the Champions League if you asked them. If a player leaves it is usually because they say they can’t get Champions League football and they say they want to play in it.

 

“If we haven’t got that ambition, then we are all wasting our time in my opinion. It’s no good just turning up thinking mediocrity is good enough. Let’s go and win every game we can. If you don’t think that way, you won’t get in those situations again.

 

“I’ll never forget that Feyenoord game, where we qualified for the second phase after losing our first three games and then won the second three, I don’t know if it’s been achieved since. There was no better feeling than when Bellers scored that last-minute goal.”

 

Won't be getting the job then. Nice to hear for a change mind.

Look at him crawling out of the woodwork. What a cunt.

[toontownman]

You left out his quotes about SBR telling him he would be manager of Newcastle in the future. Hope he is out on his ear in a weeks time. Should have been the minute he starting ripping into his own fans.

#NUFC's Mike Williamson told me today he thinks John Carver is very capable of doing the job until the end of the season. "100 percent yeah, he knows the club inside out...and he's got the mentality and the experience to do that...he'd be a fantastic manager"

Really being endorsed by the greats here :-)

[Guest JamesyJazz]

What do you 'fans' actually want?

Pardews gone and now you turn on Carver.

Is it a case of 'The Emporers new clothes',or is there a possibility of a constructive,thought out argument for and against?

The follow the herd mentality on here has transformed this forum from a democratic sounding of opinion into an appeasing,asslicking quagmire of sycophantic self congratulation.

 

 

[Dave]

Who's that aimed at? Nobody is stopping you coming up with a constructive, thought out argument for and against are they?

 

There have been disparaging posts on here about Carver for ages.

For, nothing. Against, he's Carver.

Williamson's diplomatic immunity will likely continue under Carver.

But the question is, what do you want ?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

Williamson's just another joker that will hopefully find the door in due course.

[Dave]

It will be interesting to see what team plays tomorrow, and what if any changes to the way we play and approach games are noticeable. I would guess considering Carver has said he thinks we currently play good football, that he rates Pardew highly, that we won the last match and that presumably training today was exactly the same as normal, everything will be exactly the same. Until we concede.

[Jack Flash]

What's the "for" in Carvers case? If he gets the job he'll be the latest in a growing line of people appointed manager here by either convenience or nepotism, not merit. It's absolutely baffling that this might be accepted again. This'll be where we're "too demanding" I suppose?

[Mick]

Carver out.

[Guest dazzanufc1892]

does this mean that carver can now be charged by the FA the same way Pearson was?

 

no coming back from that moment for me, viva craig bellamy

[Shak]

I thought people were against Carver because he's been manager once in his career, a shite spell at Toronto in MLS? Won 12 games out of 40, losing 16 times. Is that not a good reason?

 

Or maybe it's his record as caretaker manager? 4 wins in 16 games. He lost all the others by the way.

 

It shouldn't even be a discussion. The man has no pedigree whatsoever and wouldn't be considered for a manager job by any professional club in the entire world, yet we have to have a discussion on why he'd be anything other than a shite, lazy hire?

Piss off man.

[Wullie]

Proper weird like. Because I didn't want X managing Newcastle United, I'm meant to be happy with Y (where Y is absolutely anyone other than X)?

 

For once, can I not have someone competent and hired on merit? Or is that me being unrealistic and deluded again?

I'm wary of sticking my oar in here as an outsider, but I always find that when I see someone say "fans" (note inverted commas), my heart sinks and I assume the rest of the post will be some sort of "not a proper fan" nonsense.

I see this argument with regard to our manager, too.

 

This is the logic here.

 

"Alan Pardew is a fucking terrible manager"

 

Therefore, this means that following this logic, there are literally hundreds of managers less shit than Alan Pardew

 

So, regarding some random manager we hear:

 

"He's better than Pardew, I'd have him"

 

So, having spent ages saying that Pardew is an awful manager, surely the flip side of that is that if a manager is "better than Pardew", it doesn't really mean very much, as Pardew is fucking useless.

 

Which makes "better than Pardew" the absolute most pointless basis on which to consider a new manager.

John Carver: Sir Bobby Robson 'will be looking down' on Newcastle

 

Newcastle caretaker manager John Carver says he believes Sir Bobby Robson will be "looking down on him" when he takes charge of the team against Burnley.

 

Carver and Steve Stone have been named as temporary managers, with Alan Pardew poised to join Crystal Palace.

 

Robson, who died aged 76 in 2009, managed Newcastle for five years.

 

Carver, 49, said: "He will be there with us. He will be in the technical area, let me tell you that, because I never stop thinking about him."

 

Carver worked with Robson during the former England manager's spell at St James' Park and took temporary charge of the first team when Robson was sacked in 2004.

 

Carver said: "For some reason, I started reading Sir Bobby's autobiography this week. There was a message on the front of the book that read 'Thanks for a fantastic, successful five years, it should have been a lot longer. Cheers, Sir Bobby'.

 

Former Newcastle winger Chris Waddle on BBC Radio 5 live: 

"I think John Carver will enjoy the chance - he's been number 2 for a long time. John won't say it but deep down he has probably waited for this opportunity to take over his boyhood dream club, so I think if he was honest, I'm sure he would love the opportunity to take it at least until the end of the season and see what happens."

 

 

"When he gave me that book, he said to me, 'You do realise how big this football club is, and if ever you get an opportunity, don't be scared of it, enjoy it and take it with both hands'. So I am going to take it with both hands.

 

"I'm a Catholic and I believe he will be looking down on me, I really do."

 

Newcastle, who are 10th in the Premier League, accepted an approach from Palace for Pardew on Monday.

 

Carver said the circumstances of Pardew's expected exit made the situation unusual ahead of the team's Premier League meeting with Burnley on Thursday.

 

Carver told BBC Radio Newcastle: "It's never ideal but it is totally different to normal circumstances because it's usually because a manager's been sacked that I'm in this position.

 

"It's pretty unique because managers usually lose their jobs from clubs fighting for their lives. In this situation, that's not the case and it's a really nice feeling.

 

"It is a strange feeling because he hasn't been sacked and there's a good spirit in the football club, so it's not as if the players are down and disappointed. It's been business as usual."
