:lol: exactly the sort of thing I'd expect him to do like. It wouldn't surprise me if he'd already tried just asking on Facebook and had been stood up on Gumtree as well. He's a proper embarrassment. :lol:

Newcastle United 'have plans' for the future and money to spend, says John Carver

 

A full transcript of John Carver's interesting interview on BT Sport before the Newcastle United v Bournemouth live game

 

John Carver was on BT Sport this morning talking about his time at Newcastle United, how the club have improved since he left and whether they still have the same ‘big plans’ for the future that they did when he was in charge.

 

It was an interesting discussion that took in his belief that United might have problems keeping hold of Georginio Wijnaldum, that Ashley will spend again and that he had particular problems that made it difficult for him at St James’ Park.

 

Here’s what he had to say.

 

ON SPENDING NEXT SUMMER AND PLANS FOR THE FUTURE:

The plan wasn’t just to spend all the money in one quick hit, they’ve decided they’re going to do it over two seasons. So I’m assuming they will have the same amount of money in the summer.

 

I had no money, I lost two players in (January) window, didn’t bring anyone in and was working on a small budget.

 

They’ve got plans for the future, they look like they are investing in the team and that’s why I say I see an improvement. It’s not a quick fix, it is going to take a bit of time.

 

Now is the time to win football matches. I’ve talked of improvements, now they have to prove it.

 

CARVER ON LAST SUMMER’S INVESTMENT:

They invested well in the summer. I thought of the four players they brought in, three of them have been big hits - especially Wijnaldum and if they keep hold of him great. I think there’ll be a big side looking at him, trying to get hold of him already in the summer.

 

I think they are trying to play more football. They’ve got better players - yes, they spent £50million so they should be better. They’ve also got one or two lads like Cheick Tiote who is coming back to fitness again so he adds something special to the team.

 

They’re in better shape, the last two or three performances have been better. They were very unfortunate in the derby game to lose that game and other than the goalkeeper being outstanding they would have won that against Stoke.

 

CARVER ON CRITICISM OF HIM:

You have to have an opinion because it stimulates conversation. What would people do on a Sunday morning after a Saturday in their local clubs and pubs if they had nothing to talk about? It hurts at the time, I have to be honest, when you’ve got everyone coming for you. You feel as if it’s a small word, as if the walls are closing in but you have to accept it.

 

I went on the front foot, I never hid from anything, I never got anyone else to do any of the press for me. I was on the front foot because I wanted to face everything up.

 

It’s not nice, it does hurt you, it does dent your pride. In the end I stopped reading things and listening to things because I didn’t want it to affect my decision making.

 

CARVER ON HIS NEXT JOB:

I’m ready to go. People have said to me ‘Why don’t you wait until after Christmas? Have a Christmas with your family?’ When you’re out of the business like I’ve been now it’s a difficult, frustrating situation. For me and Steve we need to get a job and get back on that training ground. The right opportunity has to come for me because it was a tough five months I had.

 

It’s got to be right for me and the club, I won’t dive into something.

 

I don’t mind going abroad.

He is an absolute stroker.  He might end up managing a League One team if he's lucky.  That will still end in disaster and no doubt he'd get sacked after half a season.

 

More like Myanmar or Pakistan or maybe even the new Indian Premier League.

 

He might be suited to the footie IPL, actually. Heck, even the cricket one. It's all about entertainment down there and he provides that in spades.
