John Carver interested in Peterborough job

[tfcmanu]

JOHN CARVER is “in the running” for the vacant manager’s job at Peterborough United.
The Chronicle understands that the former Newcastle United assistant manager and Toronto FC boss would be interested in taking the reins at London Road in the aftermath of Darren Ferguson’s departure.
Fergie Jnr was surprisingly shown the door at Posh on the back of their 3-1 defeat at St James’ Park – despite leading them to successive promotions from League Two to the Coca-Cola Championship.
However, Carver – who has been out of work since leaving the Canadian MLS outfit Toronto – is keen on getting back into management...CONT'D

Wow...didn't realize that Fergie Jr. was given the axe. A bit surprising given the progress Posh made under him the last couple of seasons.

There is a professional Football team in Peterbrough, Ontario?

If there was that is the only place were he should manage.

Good Luck to JC if he gets it, he should still be here!!

Agreed, 100%!

[Roogsy]

Carver is class. I wish him all the best. Does this mean he will be going up against his beloved Newcastle?!?!

[MUFC_Niagara]

^^Yup, imagine he somehow won promotion??? He'd be a premier league manager!!!

Rumour is Ferguson Jr. may be in line to take over at Hull.

[Brooker]

good luck johnny!

Really? Can you back that up anywhere (BBC Rumors etc)

I would love to see that, in all seriousness. Fergie Jr is just like his father, and watching the 2 of them go at each other would be great..

Who buys the wine?

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

I wonder if he'd try to poach any of our players?

[Troll]

Only if he's got his sights set on relegation.

HEY IS THAT ME????????

There's a few players on TFC who are CCC calibre or at least very strong prospects. Carver always talked up Robbo and Ibrahim.

[TorCanSoc]

If he does get a coaching spot in the CCC, I wonder if he'll offer a leg up to some of our younger TFC talent?

Neither of those guys are CC quality players....

I you remember, he came here to pay a visit to Stefan Frei after he had left. I'm sure he'll be eyeing him.

Nice catch...I think you may be right. If there is a player being eyed, he'd be it.

[Darlofletch]

There was talk earlier of him being interviewed at Lincoln. If he couldn't get in there, or any of the other lower division jobs that have come up this year, I can't see him getting peterborough. good luck to him though, hopefully he lands a job somewhere.

[Hitcho]

He could come back here as our GM if you ask me. Stick Nicol underneath him and keep Mo just to do trades and the draft.

[Darlofletch]

^what? craziness.

Mark Cooper agrees to become new Peterborough manager - report (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2557/news-rumours/2009/11/13/1623196/mark-cooper-agrees-to-become-new-peterborough-manager-report)


Kettering Town (http://www.goal.com/en/teams/england/1438/kettering-town) boss Mark Cooper has reportedly agreed in principal to become the new manager of Peterborough United (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/teams/england/1096/peterborough-united) on a three-and-a-half-year deal.
The struggling Championship outfit departed company this week with Darren Ferguson, who had led them to two successive promotions.
The new man has a lot to live up to, and it is believed Cooper is the man taking on the challenge.
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe emerged as Peterborough's first target, but he rejected the opportunity to move to London Road.
Posh therefore turned their attention to Cooper, with Kettering chairman Imraan Ladak agreeing to allow his man to leave.
Cooper will take charge of Kettering for Saturday's Blue Square Premier fixture against Cambridge United, before departing for his new post.
The 40-year-old has yet to sign a deal, but the contract has been agreed and he is expected to start his new job on Monday.

I've watched a ton of CC games, Robinson could play for a lot of CC teams, so could a few of our other players. There's a lot of stratification in the CC, huge differences in quality between the top teams, the middle teams, and the bottom feeders.

Really? Come on man ... TFC is amongst the worst sides in MLS and Robbo looked terrible even for our standards ... at best, he is mid-table League 1 calibre. Maybe he is good enough to just barely make the roster of a couple of CC teams but he certainly won't be getting any playing time with them.

No way. None at all. Not even the worst CCC team could use him.

Look, once these players get into their 30s, if they lose that half-step, it ends fast. Abel Xavier went from starting for Portugal to not able to play for the Galaxy, in 18 months.

[UltraSuperMegaMo]

Lower third CCC clubs are not miles ahead of MLS teams in terms of talent. Toronto Fc although a terrible team, has a lot of individual talent. 'The Posh', outside of some loan players, aren't a talented club by CCC terms, I'm not unconvinced TFC couldn't beat them in a match.

...

i really don't know where you got that number of 18 months from. Xavier was done at portugal LONG before his LA adventure.

That and he's a defender, the Portugal national team isn't famed for its defending. Nuno Valente was still getting a game for Portugal when he was already like third string at Everton.

You vastly overrate lower-tier English football. I see coaching as the main thing MLS is deficient in. Carl Robinson would do fine in the championship at a number of clubs.

[Nestease]

Abel Xavier went from starting for Portugal to not able to play for the Galaxy, in 18 months.

This statement couldn't be any more wrong. You missed about like 7 or 8 years of bouncing of bench to bench and failed drug tests and suspensions since the last time he started for Portugal in 2000. The guy was soccer kryptonite for any team that touched him.

[ensco]

^OK re Portugal but my point was correct. He went from starting in the EPL to out of MLS in 18 months.
