Several Newcastle United players have urged the club to make up their mind on Alan Pardew's successor as manager.
Newcastle are conducting thorough due diligence on a handful of candidates including Rémi Garde, but John Carver, the caretaker, is expected to be in charge of Saturday evening’s Premier League game at home to Southampton.
“It will be good when the club makes a statement to say ‘this is the new coach,’” said Daryl Janmaat, who would be happy to see Carver appointed until the end of the season at least. “It will be better for everyone. Then everyone knows. If it’s John Carver, it’s good. We like him. I think he can do a good job.”
