Andymc1 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm saying we should start singing his praises or anything, just that its early days and the jury is still out. This 6 months of purgatory could be a prelude to getting someone decent in the summer. Bear in mind, its not Charnley's fault that we had no decent coaches at the club to take charge in the interim. You're beyond help. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He had one job, appoint a new head coach. Our head coach is now John Carver. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 He had one job, appoint a new head coach. Our head coach is now John Carver. Not only that, but he admits he had EIGHTY serious applicants from within the football world and he still chose Carver. Probably 79 of them were under contract so their CVs went straight in the bin, the cheap tosser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Incandenza Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Ok, for the sake of argument. Lets imagine you're in his shoes: Several highly rated managers will be available in the summer. The candidates available in January are Remi Garde, Bernd Schuster and Bruno Labaddia. Garde wants his coaches from Lyon, but they don't want to release them until the summer. Ashley is too much of a tight bastard to force their hand now. The possibilty of an interim manager is floated but Ashley won't release funds for it when we can just appoint one of the coaches to the same role. This leaves four options. 1) Appoint Schuster 2) Appoint Labaddia 3) Leave Carver in charge until the summer 4) Leave Beardsley in charge until the summer What would you have done?

Guest Incandenza Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Based on what we heard from various media sources, that seems to be who they picked out as the best candidates out of the applicants available immediately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Or 5) Grow a set of balls and tell Mike that by buying the right manager now he'll make the money back in finishing places and, even if that doesn't happen, that the fat cunt has enough money in his fucking mattress to cover it.

Because I can't fathom how anyone, even at this club, would be stupid enough to appoint him full time. Ashley is sucking the soul out of the club but he does at least to have a reasonable plan for keeping us a stable premier league club and making John Carver permanent head coach doesn't fit in with that plan at all. Also Charnley has took some veiled shots at Pardew in his public interviews. It would be odd to acknowledge Pardew is a shit only to appoint Carver in the summer. I'm 95% certain Carver won't get the gig. Feel free to call me stupid in 6 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley will have a manager on 1980s wages, he'll f***ing love it. EDIT: They haven't got a clue about football - as such, they'll believe JC will keep us up.

Chris_R Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 They see the manager as the least important person at the club. He's just there to stand on the sideline and do the interviews. They genuinely don't think a good manager will make enough difference, at least not enough difference to bother trying to find one. All they want is someone cheap who will do as he's told because he's so grateful to have the job. They had that in Pardew and they've got it again in Carver.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 TBH, if your only ambition is to stay up then that conclusion about the manager might not be far from the truth. As long as you buy good enough players to win 10 games and get a few draws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. People like you who give these people new chances and wont face reality are just as big a problem as JC, Charnley and Ashley is.The reality is that these people don't give a s*** about the club and the point is to make as much money as possible with investing as little as possible. Don't act like those four options were the only options. If they wanted a class manager they would've appointed one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Promises to improve communication. Comes out from under his rock to communicate and doesn't update fans on the manager search that is the single most important issue at the club. It's almost as if there is no manager search.
