STM Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 It was mentioned that we would have news before the end of the week. Is that believed to be true? My worry is this drags on and they simply don't do anything. If they stick with Carver, I'd at least like them to announce it so I can start the mourning process.

Start it now, then if we appoint a functioning human it'll be like a resurrection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Do we still believe we showed Gourvennec round the club? Time to get the projector out and look through the snaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 So we are still "taking stock", making sure we take our time to make the right decision, just like they did in January !! This club is so fucking retarded it's unbelievable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 God I never thought I'd miss Shepherd. Remember when Nobbys name was sung and he went and signed him? Can you imagine these cunts doing something we wanted? The club was already after bringing Solano back, hence why the fans were chanting his name when Owen was out on stage.

oldtype Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Who exactly has Douglas contacted to find out if we are interested Probably knows that we're not interested in finding a manager at all, so it's safe to just deny everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Dunno if already been posted but the Serbian media are saying Watford's Jokanovic might be heading for us or Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you imagine these c***s doing something we wanted? Shepherd was a dreadful chairmen, not the worst we've had in our history by a long chalk however. Westwood, Seymour Jnr, McKeag et al, make Ashley look in some ways palatable. But my god you are right at least the guy listened, he cared about his public persona.

Marmoset Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I know you shouldn't put anything past these people but surely, surely even they wouldn't risk Carver next season. The worry for me is I can see them dragging this out to negotiate a lower pay for whoever they get in, not having to pay him a couple of months over the summer as a small bonus and our entire preseason being ruined. Just get someone in asap so we can start sorting ourselves out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just discount the local journalists for the most part, they clearly don't have a clue what is going on these days. Douglas is better than Ryder though, he can take heart from that.

ilikenewcastle Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 TBH, these articles mean nothing to me. Most of the NUFC journos on twitter are guessing or giving opinions. If true, it's ridiculous that carver even remains a coach... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC_Chris Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm a tad disappointed we aren't interested in the likes of Gourvennec, and have seemingly cooled on Garde. Which means we're most likely looking for a British based manager, which is fine, but I wouldn't be looking at the likes of McLaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Sheperd and Hall era was great for the most part before Souness, the dividends still rile me though. About £35m was it? Imagine if we'd put that into players during Bobby's time where £35m was a proper warchest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'd have no problem in theory taking a Championship manager if they were a young up and comer playing good football. Martinez and Rodgers being recent examples. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikenewcastle Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Getting the right guy in could cure so many ills man. Just do it already. So annoying. It's unbelievable Ashley hasn't even tried to do this since Keegan. The wages of a decent manager could probably have been won back if we finished higher than 16th in 2013 and 15th this year. Fans are fickle too, getting in the right man would kill off a lot of protests immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The thing I don't understand (well I do) is that they had Carver, by his own admission, involved in the planning of the summer transfer window. So based on that we are to assume that the new manager may not get final say, but would have some say in whoever comes in and goes out. Having known perfectly well since the turn of the year that the moment to make a long term manager appointment was coming (and they should have known at least six months before then even), it is frankly unforgivable to come out with guff like "taking our time", "evaluating the situation", etc. If the man they wanted (Garde?) wasn't available in January for some reason they should have signed a pre-contract and should have been working behind the scenes on the transfer side of things long before the end of the season. Next season will just be another write-off as it stands, and even if decent money is invested we may yet see more players that the new manager may not want. Unless we do get Carver, which was always seemingly the plan and I wouldn't put it past them at all to stick to that even though it nearly backfired this term and will almost certainly relegate us next season.
