Raconteur Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Can anyone please explain to me why John carver is a good assistant manager ? He learnt his trade from the very, very best. Aye. The very fact he was Sir Bobby's assistant is reason enough for me. Not just that he worked under Bobby, I'm reasonably sure he gave Carver a lot of credit for the team they built. Can someone confirm or deny that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Well pleased he's staying on, you can already see the movement and passing improvement over the last couple of games. That's probably because we can't just hoof the ball up to Carroll or Shola. I think if they were still in the team we'd still be launching balls up to those two.

thomas Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 He seems like one who is a great lieutenant but not a great general. Pleased, but hope his job title always has "assistant" in front of manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Terry Mac once saw him come out the tunnel clenching his fist and looking really pleased about something at half time when the subs were warming up, I assume his four-horse accumulator must have came in.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Good old school Assistant Manager! Builds team spirit, connection between players and coaching staff. Not sure you need that so much in the modern game, with modern coaches having decent man management skills now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Posted in the Simpson thread, but: It's the first time in my career that I've worked with John, but he's a top man, is so enthusiastic, and when we need a little kick up the backside he gives us that. We've got respect for him, he's got great knowledge of the game and the club, having been here before with Sir Bobby. So he's been a great addition to the staff and it seems to be working well.

LooneyToonArmy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Newcastle United No2 John Carver admits he was unhappy with Alan Pardew's appointment last season. Carver was no different from the vast majority of Toon fans when he heard Mike Ashley had replaced the universally-liked Chris Hughton with a man who had never managed north of London. “I couldn’t believe it,” the Geordie, who was working with Gary Speed at Sheffield United at the time, told the Daily Star. “For a start, I was angry that Chris had been sacked just a few weeks after the 5-1 win over Sunderland. “When I heard Alan was taking over, I thought it was a strange decision. Newcastle are a club that have traditionally had big-name managers and I couldn’t understand why the club thought he was the right man. “There was no obvious connection and he didn’t seem to tick too many of the boxes others had. Mind you, even then there was a part of me which admired him for taking it. “OK, you don’t turn down a job like Newcastle if it’s offered to you. On the other hand, it showed strength of character because he knew he was not a popular choice and had to win over a lot of people, not to mention the players.” Within 48 hours of Pardew’s appointment, Carver was starting to reassess his initial opinion. “Promoting Steve Stone to first-team coach was a shrewd move,” he said. “Steve’s a Gateshead lad and though he never played for the club, he’s black and white daft and was someone at the coal face who had real knowledge about what Newcastle United is all about. “He’s a good coach, too, but his promotion was firm evidence that Alan had this job sussed.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Who's our vice captain anyway? Would have said Staylor but could be Cabaye? There is no vice captain. I believe Pardew said something along the lines of - there should be one captain on the pitch, and many more off it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
