Text/Voicemail from Rumour Killer re: Carver

[DOMIN8R]

Anyone else just get a message indicating that the Carver Rumour is BS?

[Nodoubtguy]

huh??

[Parkdale]

yep. I got it from a little birdy.

[DOMIN8R]

I just received a call. It was an aumomated text message indicting that the Carver Newcastle rumour was wrong. Just like the automated messages we use to get during the season when there was a scheduled game day start time change, etc.

Also, the CBC JC Interview (just released online) - at the very end, JC states unequivocally - that he's staying in Toronto and not going to Newcastle.

[sulfur]

Only the special people got it I guess.

How is it BS? Because Carver denied it? What is he going to say? "yes, if offered NUFC I will take it" I'm sure MLSE would love that.

Fact is that Shearer hasn't been offered the NUFC job. Until he is, we won't know for sure, but there is a strong chance that Shearer will at some point take over at NUFC, and if he does, I for one won't be surprised to see Carver follow him there.

Whether he denies it or not.

Also - did this really warrant a new thread?

[kelzag]

John Carver called me himself, cause I'm extra special

[AL-MO]

Yes. This little birdy seems very informative.

EDIT: But I agree with CB above.

why not. If the rumour gets a thread, then the truth deserves one moreso.

[canadian_bhoy]

How is this the "truth" ?

[quote=canadian_bhoy;271953] did this really warrant a new thread?[/quote]

Yes. It's about a voicemail mesage to TFC STHs, that happens to be about Carver/Newcastle. If you can't confirm or deny receipt of this message, you need not post to the thread. Period. Full stop.

[Damien]

The voicemail I got said "Hi I'm John Carver, former head coach of Toronto FC. Newcastle has recently hired me so all you TFC supporters can kiss my ass!"

Was the voicemail necessary?

I'm not sure why your looking for an argument here. There isn't one to have. I'm simply reporting on the message I received. The message indicated that the rumour was false. NOTE: the message indicated this. Not me.

[AL-MO]

I stopped the Snet text messages when they started charging for them.

But I did get the little birdy one.

I'm not starting an argument. Yes you simply pointed out the Vmail - but you also called the rumour BS. I'm just saying that I don't think it's BS. And a automated message to fans about it isn't going to change much.

[JDG]

Sorry for the confusion DOMIN8R. I meant to send to the cell #s in my phone, but I'm guessing I only have your landline.

[DOMIN8R]

Ah, the mystery unravels.

These are my favourite comments on a good discussion.... lol

[JDG]

I went out to try the new Poutine joint on Adelaide, and decided to stop for a pint on my way home.
I ran into Carver, and had a chance to ask him a few questions. The big question on my mind was about his reported move to NUFC, and he laughed it off.

[kelzag]

But the real question is.....did you buy him a poutine?

[alexintoronto]

I didn't know you were into diving.

Fuck relax dude.

I couldn't be more sorry for having asked the question and started this thread.

That is the proviso I see, Shearer taking over at New Castle is not a done deal. But if it happens in January I would rather know now then later. So that we have more time to get a new coach.

What would realy suck, is if we found out in late January that Carver is leaving, and we did not have time to replace him. That would make this a complete disaster.

[canadian_bhoy]

Fuck relax dude.

I know - you should see me right now. I'm jumping up and down freaking out here...ohhh I'm so mad!

[FluSH]

I didn't know you were into diving.

I have no idea how this is relevant but it's hilarious!!!

[Jack]

Everyone seems somewhat tense.

It's Friday...go get drunk!

Couldn't help myself....
