Get on John Carver to become Newcastle Head Coach

Have we lost our marbles? What good can John Carver bring to Newcastle United. The extent of his managerial experience is an 18 month stint with Toronto FC in the MLS.

We’ll tell you why he’s a top tip at 6/1 to land the Newcastle job:

1. Who else wants the job? Right now the tabloid newspapers are playing their usual guessing game. I’ve even seen Glenn Hoddle announced as a candidate by one newspaper. You know when the news outlets haven’t a clue whats going on when Hoddles name is banded about.
2. Bobby Robson effect! It was quite a touch for Carver to bring up Robsons name when talking about his preparation for the eventual loss to Leicester in the FA Cup. Being number 2 to one of England’s treasures is quite an association to have.
3. The Longer it takes to appoint someone the easier it is to allow Carver to remain under the end of the season. He’s already there. He knows how things work.

Lets be smart about this. Carver won’t be Newcastle’s first choice, or even their fifth choice. A much stronger manager will no doubt take up the reigns at St James before next season kicks off, but for us to land a tidy bet, we only need Carver to be in the job for 10 games or more.

Skybet settle their market based on someone being in the job for 10 games. This is perfect for the likes of us here at Betcirca who can see him being offered a 6 month deal while the board wait on their perfect candidate.

Get 6/1 with Skybet and join us on this punt. The longer it takes for Newcastle to announce a manager the better. Carver could end up being as the Tim Sherwood of Newcastle.
