John Carver feels Newcastle United must make a decision over a fulltime managerial appointment.

United have whittled down their shortlist to half a dozen candidates with Remi Garde, Christophe Galtier, Glenn Hoddle and Eddie Howe all being considered, says the Evening Chronicle.

"Something has to be resolved sooner rather than later, it can't linger on," said caretaker Carver.

"So whether it's with me or with somebody else it has to be done quickly."
