Sunderland would have to get at least 5 points from their remaining games against Leicester, Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea

>>7I actually have a strange feeling Sunderland can get some points from Leicester and Everton. Also Chelsea may let them have a pity point if they have already won the league.

Newcastle United boss John Carver: "On a scale of one to 10, it's a minus 10. I can't accept it. I wish the players had as much determination and fight as I had. We can talk about systems and players but if we're not willing to compete, get your head onto the ball and risk getting an injury, you won't get anywhere. The referee made the right decisions. I spoke to Mike Williamson at half-time and had a few choice words. I thought he'd done that [got sent off] on purpose - it looks like he did. The ball was off the pitch - he had no need to make the challenge. He will miss two games now, is it an easy way out? I got Tim Krul to speak to Daryl Janmaat, I told him to stay calm and he didn't. The game had gone away from us. We can't keep shooting ourselves in the foot. We can't just keep saying next week will do - it has to happen now. Losing two players doesn't help. The next 24 hours is thinking time - we have to see who is available. We need to find a solution. I can talk all day and make excuses but I have no excuses today. It was a very animated dressing room at half time and even more so at full-time. I've asked everyone to have a think and we'll have an open discussion on Monday - it'll be interesting."
You know you're doing an atrocious job when players are intentionally getting themselves sent off so they don't have to play for you.

>>10Its actually rare for a manager to come out with stuff like that, alot of stuff is kept in house. They're in the shit an its leaking out
As much spirit Carver puts in it doesn't hide the fact hes unqualified and in the shit. The fans haven't stood by them from the start of the season and everyone knows about Ashley. A true disgrace to that clubs history and their stadium, it deserves better

>>14Carver hasnt been picked on merit, he clearly isnt the best for the job. Villa have been on the edge for years, from O'Leary to Houlier to Lambert.
Its a strange game

>>14>>13There are many things that get a manager, or sometimes even a player, picked for a club that come ahead of pure ability. I'll sum it up to "whether your face fits" but there's probably a whole PhD thesis in it.
Football clubs in England are nowhere near as clean as they are elsewhere in the world. They might be quite slick on the face of things, but they're still run by crooks. People complain about foreign owners, but some of those are saints compared to the sort of men that used to run football clubs and in many cases still do.
The whole English game needs an overhaul. We identify one problem and go after it, or throw money at it. Youth development is the big thing at the moment. Next it'll be minority or female coaches. In the 80s it was hooliganism, in the 90s player behaviour. Instead of looking at the root causes of issues we just go after whatever's big in the media.

No football club in the entire world is clean.

>>16Carver was picked on the off-chance that things actually worked out and Mike Ashley wouldn't have to replace the entire backroom staff if an outside appointment was made. If Carver had turned it down, it would've went to Steve Stone or Peter Beardsley

>>17German ones are. So are most of the Dutch ones.
Blokes like Peter Risdale, Ken Bates, Vincent Tan, the Venky's and many others should not be allowed near football clubs. That's owners, before you even get to the sort of scum that make up the rest of the staff.

>>192 points about the drop having played a game more than Sunderland and Hull
Every team below them is hitting form
Newcastle on their worst run in EPL history
have to play a back four of Raylor--Dummett--Coloccini--Anita
despite being one of the best players in the team, Abeid is constantly overlooked for Gutierrez
There is no salvation

To be fair this time Newcastle going down is heavily dependent on how Sunderland do this time. So that happening would be even more goldness.

A manager can't just "leave", they could've kept him. Ashley though they're safe and let him go.

>>34Crystal Palace bought out his contract. And yes that's true but that doesn't equate to sacking him, if he hadn't chosen to leave he would definitely have seen out his 8 year contract

Has Carver got the lowest winning % of a manager at a club over 10 games?
11.76%
