I think he's going to be here for a few seasons. We're not going to pay or lure in a top manager with our stingy owner who thinks he's mastered the management of football. However, Carver does love this club. Not something we can say about pardew. It's not really his fault we got battered against city? The players sulked the whole game. I'm starting to think that he might do something special here. I mean Cisse hasnt been played as a winger since he's been here, that's a plus. I think he deserves a shot to get it right. We always say once were essentially safe from relegation but cant push on to play the youngsters, let them learn and grow. Yet we can't give a coach that same chance? Nobody starts off as a mourinho or klopp.

They are getting ready for full time Carver. Word out now that Newcastle were supposedly not impressed with Remy Garde and I expect other put downs will circulate so that the excuse is no one was up to what we required.
He's barely good enough to be classed as a decent number 2.
Unlike Poyet, who I hear would make a great number 2 in any dressing room.

I don't like him as a person based on what I've seen and I'm not impressed by his credentials.
That said he knows the club, has worked with youth and development for years (to erm crap results?) and I don't want to just replace him with another idiot. A clear upgrade would be nice but we all know that isn't happening.

I'm never overly convinced there's much difference in coaches anyway, they're like players. There's a few who are just World Class, then the rest. I mean, we've lauded the likes of Poyet and derided the likes of McLaren, now they're at polar opposites. Mick McCarthy has been pulled apart so often, now he's seen as doing well, and on and on it goes. For me, I'd rather people applied pressure to Charnley or Carr. If they're the ones picking and buying (or not) the playing staff, then they're doing a fcking embarrassingly bad job. Carver, and Pardew before him, are completely hamstrung and not doing that bad, by all accounts. I mean, can Carver suddenly make Obertan or Ameobi competent wingers? Can he make Riviere a Premier League striker? Or Willo a Prem defender?
I wonder, just wonder, if we're putting too much emphasis on this mythical coach we're never going to get.

That's what I think every time I read one of your posts!
Just no, Carver is way out of his depth. I'd contest Pardew not loving the club, I think he very clearly did. He might not have been what the fans wanted but he gave it everything he had.
I fear that as it seems he's doing a fairly ok job with the resources at his disposal currently that he will be given at least the first part of next season. I'm pretty sure the club will look at the players we have coming back from injury and perhaps an extra body or two in the transfer window and feel that there's enough there to be going on with.
It'll be interesting to see how the club shifts its stance if we don't finish top 10 and see what bollocks they spin us all !

I fear you are rightDon't know if he loved the club but don't doubt for a moment that he did his best and that he cared deeply about succeeding.
he just is not manager material. I personally think that the best realistic appointment would be McLaren.
