crisis escalates in Newcastle. The club is in freefall after a harrowing series of eight defeats.
Many point to John Carver and demands that he be released from the manager in charge, but Monday was however the club out and confirms that he is sitting out the season. It should have been clear by the club describes as “candid conversations between John Carver and the club’s experienced players.” Most suggest that anything but harmony characterizes Newcastle.
Historic bad statistics
The traditional club from the North East of England has under Carvers 16-match management miraculously managed to poke into the bottom of the table. Saturday’s 0-3 loss to Leicester makes only two points distinguishes between renewed contract and a heavy trip down to the Championship.
– He has klokkertro on themselves. It’s incredible. He claims that no other managers would clearly take more points with this team. I do not understand how one can have so little self-knowledge when looking results. The club has not had a worse manager in 123 years, says Audun Hageskal, manager of Newcastle’s Norwegian supporter, to TV 2.

In Recent weeks have Hageskal and the rest of Newcastle fans had to watch the team they love so much spoil out time after time. Only twice has Newcastle won since Carver took over at the start of January. But it is far from the only negative that has characterized the club.
Claimed player received a red card on purpose
Carver went in the middle April and said that Fabricio Coloccini is in danger of losing the captaincy next season. At the same time the group of players have lost faith that Carver is the person who must save Newcastle from a potentially damaging relegation.
It all peaked in Saturday’s game against Leicester. In the interview after the game admitted Carver that there is a possibility that players are no longer listening to him. Meanwhile, he accused Mike Williamson to incur red card on purpose.
In the bus after the match shall Tim Krul and Coloccini allegedly ended in scuffles and now it should have gone so far players encourages family and close friends not to attend the team’s home games.
– It’s a long time since there has been such a big crisis in Newcastle. It is not there to see the team lose a couple of football matches which is the worst, but to see what is happening around. There is zero management, an owner who does not care … The aim is mostly top ten, but it seems totally indifferent whether one ends the tenth or first place. It’s just a matter of making the most money, says Hageskal.
– This is the worst period the club has gone through since I was supporter for over 20 years ago. I’ve never seen the team, players and club like that solution.
– Ashley is the main problem
For a long time fans showed their disgust against club owner Mike Ashley. The wealthy sports chain entrepreneur bought the club in 2007 and has in much of his time as Newcastle owner received harsh criticism from its own supporters. Demonstrations against Ashley has become a habit – latest in Sunday’s game against Leicester kept fans up overlaps with the inscription “no ambition, no investment, no hope.”
– It has gone so long time, but it is Ashley who is the main problem. We need an owner who is willing to spend money to build a team, not just think profit. Consequently we can not any way that football club, says Hageskal.
– There is no one who goes out and says that they hope Newcastle to lose, but one begins to get there that people are talking about that it might have been good with a relegation. But I do not think there would be any benefit. It would become more difficult to sell the club, keeping the players and there would be less money to buy players.
Get club owners, if any at all any, in the Football England is more hated by their own fans than just Ashley. There is still nothing to say that Ashley is a successful businessman.
Through Newcastle Ashley has gotten good publicity for Sports Direct chain he owns. Newcastle’s home stadium bar even the name of the sports chain in a little while, but the reactions were strong and St James’ Park name is again back on the wall. In addition to Newcastle, Ashley has been a shareholder in the Scottish big club Rangers. Nor does it without a strong reaction from the fans.
Just a few weeks ago could Ashley enjoyed a solid profit of 215 million when Newcastle was presented as one of England’s most profitable clubs. But the interest-free loan for the next 1.5 billion Newcastle took up with Ashley when he bought the club in 2007, is still unsettled.
Fearing the consequences of relegation
Return standing fans and see that the team has put forward positive figures over the last four years, but at the same time disappears profile players and big signings absent.
– That’s what the what is so frustrating to watch. The prerequisites are there. It has fans, spectator numbers, stadium and a city that stands behind the team, but Ashley is not willing to spend money on the team, says Hageskal.
– If you want to start again, it’s about keeping the place in the Premier League and sell the club as soon as possible. Ashley claims he has tried to sell the club, but I do not know how much is in there.
The fear of relegation is great, admits Hageskal. He thinks it could be very costly for the club.
– When I do not think we will advance straight up again as we did last time. If that were to happen, the Newcastle far less attractive, says Hageskal.
Can relegated
The first of three crucial battles await Newcastle on Saturday. A trepoenger home at St James’ Park will largely secure renewed contract in the Premier League. However, it is without defenders Williamson and Janmaat, both incurred the red card in the previous match. It’s already thin defensive series and options are not many.
Ronny Deila mean leader, his style makes him a good manager.
Hageskal is not further optimistic before the games against West Brom, QPR and West Ham.
– The fight against QPR being stone tough. If it should be decided in the last round at home against West Ham, I think race is run. Newcastle have not in the habit of delivering the deciding battles, says Hageskal.
Now stumps saved and renewed contracts secured. The man at the controls is Carver.
– He has lost the dressing room long ago, if he ever had it. It seems that he has zero confidence among the players. The supporters have given him up long ago. He shows zero leads instinct and it seems as if he has something to contribute tactically. He has zero support from the fans, and there is a real fear of relegation, says Hageskal and dreams back.
– It feels very long ago Champions and Bobby Robson. It’s weird how fast it can unravel in eight years …
