Relegation Would Be Disastrous – Carver

Newcastle’s player, John Carver, has said he’s not even thinking about the threat of a “disastrous” relegation – despite Newcastle United’s perilous position.

The club is five points above third-from-bottom Sunderland with four games left to play after Saturday’s 3-2 home defeat to Swansea City.

I’m not thinking about that disaster – let’s make that clear. Get that out of the back of our minds

Half of the teams below Newcastle have a game in hand, including Saturday’s in-form opponents Leicester City.

Bookmakers have slashed the odds on United – who have lost their last seven games – going down.

But head coach Carver says he can’t allow himself to think about relegation.
