Guest chopey Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The hull game is huge now, if we lose that then carver has no chance of the job and Ashley will need his up his calls to the yes men and unfortunately spend some cash on a new boss/yes man/money maker/shop manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 The hull game is huge now, if we lose that then carver has no chance of the job and Ashley will need his up his calls to the yes men and unfortunately spend some cash on a new boss/yes man/money maker/shop manager Don't think the Hull game will make any difference at all tbh. It's clearly going to be Carver in until the end of the season, only time we might act is if it looks like we might actually go down with half a dozen or so games left then he'll throw a few quid at someone like Glenn Hoddle to try keep us up.

Unbelievable Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I don't think they're actively working on a replacement anymore. Following Charnley's interview they will just leave it until the summer, and they won't even bother announcing Carver's got it, until the end of the season or otherwise. We'll just happily go from game to game in limbo while we drop down the league table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It wasn't until I just looked at this thread that I remembered you haven't got a manager, it seems like ages since Pardew went (although it obviously isn't). I do wonder, though, when things go this quiet on a manager front if you're not actually being softened up for something really underwhelming happening. I think most of us are well prepared for that, Brummie - you would have to be an excessive optimist, even by NUFC standards, to expect anything else from the people running Newcastle United, especially at this stage of Ashley's ownership. He has said himself that he may sell in 2016 so he isn't going to break the piggy bank to get a decent manager now. I have followed the club for 50 years and I cannot recall so much mutual detestation between any of the previous regimes and the fans as there is currently. Ashley clearly treats the fans with contempt, views them that way and his feelings are returned with much higher interest than you can get even at a Bank in a Third World hell-hole. This is NOT a recipe for even a modicum of success and more likely to result in relegation. "Ashley clearly treats the fans with contempt" I've sometimes thought about if he sells up, and a hypothetical scenario of having two consortiums submitting offers that peek his interest. 1. A consortium whose interests lie in the business of football, and results - and harnessing the club's potential. 2. A hedge fund type (or investor) who may look at the club's profit margins, and view Ashley's way of running a club as a blue-print for success - sit on the television rights money, reap the returns, do enough to ensure top flight survival and give nothing back in return (hope) His grudge against Whelan was taken far. This spiteful individual would take a small loss on the chin to deliver option 2 to a supporter base he hates. Exactly right - this would suit him down to the ground.

Guest chopey Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm would take relegation in a shot if we got rid of Ashley and his merry band of Wonga fans that have turned St James into a horrible library. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I wouldn't get that far. Relegation is more likely to attract a chancer like that Barry Moat again. The stronger we are, the more attractive we are to worthy investors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 You would hope that they do actually know the man they want to appoint and are not just dithering over a decision and that the only reason, they cannot appoint him now is because he is not currently available. If it is one of Garde or Tuchel, I don't see why they cannot announce it and say they will be starting in June but if the guy is presently employed, I understand why an announcement could not be made. However, I am concerned that they will just go through the process all over again in June on the basis of new options becoming available and then take a further few weeks to decide. Surely the new manager has to be ready to take over a soon as the season ends. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly risible and pathetic we're being treat like total simpletons. It's insane. They have absolutely shat it and are refusing to question the club in any way. Instead they are having kickabouts with the coaches (5-a-side presumably) and posting absolutely turgid "who wud u rather buy - lacazet or huddlestun" while the club advertise absolutely minging "school disco" nights. We're a fucking waste of space in this league, man. Let someone in who'll actually try and progress and we'll take our rightful place in the Championship.

KaKa Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So, surely they wouldn't have waited this long to announce Carver right? It just doesn't make sense, or they would have done so by now. Surely, just finalising the new man's contract for himself and his staff, and tidying that all up before confirming once and for all. It's the only way this extended silence makes sense RIGHT?!

Guest Brendan_Rice Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thought of this for some reason: “What is a club in any case? Not the buildings or the directors or the people who are paid to represent it. It’s not the television contracts, get-out clauses, marketing departments or executive boxes. It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
