    Default Carver Pre Game

    Hey it was cool to see Carver at the tailgate with some of his friends.

    They told me they stayed at the same hotel as the galaxy and that last night he ran into some of the players and he told them he was going to set the fire alarm. Sure enough at 5am a fire drill.

    Carver seemed nice and so did his friends. He even had a RPB Landy Cake!


    Good job to RPB for being such good hosts.

    I am sure we all feel like doing what Carver did. Get the hell out here cause MLSE and Mo have no Fuckin CLUE!

    Even though I am not a fan of Carver AT ALL ... I am also glad that he was received with open arms. You can't hold something against someone for not being up to task ... especially when you have to work under a GM who is extremely incompetent.

    I think were beginning to see that Carver's problems extended beyond the refs, and were likely a little closer to home than has been portrayed.

    Like Bob says, you can't make chicken salad with chickenshit.

    When Carver first came in, to coach, I thuogh it was the right guys, he said the right things, and at first the team looked better, but then things started to slip, and they never got better. While I still question some of his tactical and selection decisions, at the end of the day Exiled may be right, our roster may be worse then we think.

    Interestingly, a couple of the guys with JC were telling us that Shearer's not been offered any kind of extension in the 3 weeks since the end of the season and that another week or so and they fully expect him to walk. And he also said that if Shearer walks, JC's not going back to Newcastle at this point.

    Wish him the best.

    Cummins sounds like he has lost the room. So early in his tenure it might be time for a change.

    I was thinking the same thing! But for TFC to do this, its another PR nightmare....you know, they are all about image and the bottomline.

    Yeah it's too bad put JC back in that room and shit might get done!!

    Nice to see JC come out and see the boys again. Too bad it wasn't next weekend when I'll be at the game...oh well....all the best to JC hope he can coach my Newcastle back to the prem!! God knows he could get the job done in the Championship.

    I was talking with JC and there has been absolutely no indication from NewCastle that he will be heading there, he hasn't talked with them since going back to England...

    Yah... I definitely got the impression from the two guys that I was talking with that there had been 0 (that's a giant ZERO) communication between the team (Newcastle) and JC.

    All of the conversation and communication had been between Shearer, one of his assistants, and JC.

    And if Shearer doesn't come back next year (which is looking possible) that means no job for JC. Doesn't sound like the sure-thing some people were guaranteeing he was returning to.

    Maybe because Shearer did an even worse job than even Carver - how could you offer him an extension?

    Took a little conversation to get JC out to the tailgate, and I'm really glad he made it. However, he asked for a few more Carver scarves than originally anticipated, so a couple of people who ordered more than one may be cut down a bit.....

    Hey Coach, can you email me the picture of Carver and I whenever you have time? Thanks for setting that up. It was great to get a few words in with him.

    Newcastle's going to be in Championship, not the Prem. Maybe they'll just hire JC. He has strong ties and has clearly left the impression in the Brit press that when he left, we were on top of the division (which is only true with respect to him vacating the country).
