Supporters Were Magnificent - Carver

Last updated : 26 October 2006 By Kevin Markey

The former assistant boss, who became caretaker following Kevin Blackwell's sacking, had a special message for the fans as he left Elland Road.

"The supporters were magnificent," said Carver. "The support during those final 20 minutes on Saturday was unbelievable.

"When I went over to say thanks after the game I didn't know what sort of reception I'd get, but the reaction made a proud man.

"We'd just lost 5-1 and to get a reception like that is something that will stay with me.

"It wasn't the way I wanted it to end, but as I said afterwards something had to happen, and I hope the new management team will come in and take things forward.

"I wish them the best of the luck as I do everyone at the club."
