London - Newcastle United manager John Carver has declared that he was "the best coach in the Premier League" on Thursday, despite having presided over the club's worst run of results since 1977.
Carver, 50, has overseen a sequence of eight consecutive losses that has left the northeast club two points above the relegation zone with three matches to play.
Carver held crisis talks with managing director Lee Charnley earlier this week, amid reports Newcastle had made an approach for Derby County manager Steve McClaren, but his confidence in his own ability remains undimmed.
