Newcastle United descended into chaos on Monday night as it emerged that head coach John Carver offered to quit after Saturday’s loss to Leicester. Carver told his managing director Lee Charnley he was prepared to step aside after admitting the players may not be listening to his instructions. But when Derby’s Steve McClaren rejected the chance to take charge for the remaining three Barclays Premier League games of the season, Carver’s offer was turned down. Instead, he will carry on despite a record of eight defeats in a row that has left Newcastle only two points above the relegation zone.
Sportsmail can also reveal that Carver had a bust-up with his team at half-time during the 3-0 loss at the King Power Stadium. McClaren has long been expected to take over at St James’ Park in the summer but it emerged on Monday he does not want the job now.
Newcastle United interim manager John Carver pictured leaving the club's training ground this afternoon (MON), following a meeting in the aftermath of the Magpies' 0-3 defeat away at Leicester City over the weekend.
McClaren talked to Derby chief executive Sam Rush and gave further assurances that he wants to remain in charge next season to mount another promotion bid. He will address his players individually today to discuss summer plans.
A Newcastle statement issued on Monday confirmed Carver would continue. ‘Following the result on Saturday, there has been two days of frank dialogue with John Carver and senior players,’ it read.
‘The outcome is that the board, John Carver, his staff and players are absolutely focused on our current situation and the three hugely important fixtures that remain.
‘All parties accept responsibility for the current situation but are determined, together, to ensure this club — your club — retains its Premier League status.’
Newcastle fans reacted with astonishment to the club’s statement.
Mark Jensen, editor of the Newcastle fans’ magazine themag.co.uk, said: ‘Just when you think things can’t get any worse the club put a feeble statement out saying it’s business as usual. I personally don’t know a single Newcastle fan who thinks John Carver is the right man for the job, but if you talk about a change you have to question who in their right mind would want to walk into this total mess.
‘This has been coming for a long time. It is a carbon copy of last season when we had a few more points on the board, and the season before that we also nearly went down. If other clubs continue to pick up points I think we will go down.
'I don’t think any fans have hope of getting any more points. If we stay up it will only be due to the shortcomings of others.’
Carver will somehow have to unite a fragmented dressing room for three crucial fixtures against West Bromwich, Queens Park Rangers and West Ham.

跟住會方即刻想搵 McClaren 接手，不過 McClaren 不單拒絕接手最後三場，亦表明下季將留效打比，唔會去紐卡素！
於是會方就拒絕 Carver 辭職，要佢帶埋呢三場！
不過球員已經同 Carver 抹晒面，餘下三仗佢都唔知點帶隊波！
呢隊波係死肥佬既管治之下真係鑊鑊高潮鑊鑊甘！
