Newcastle United caretaker manager John Carver has reiterated that he wants the job full-time following his side's 2-0 loss against Chelsea on Saturday.
Goals from Oscar and Diego Costa sealed the win for Chelsea after Newcastle had given a good account of themselves at Stamford Bridge.
Following the game, Carver told BBC Sport: "A million percent I want this [job].
"I've not had any conversations with Mike Ashley. I've spoke to [managing director] Lee Charnley a number of times to tell me to prepare the team but that's it."
According to reports, the club's search for a manager to replace Alan Pardew will not be concluded anytime soon.
