Newcastle United boss John Carver has defended Fabricio Coloccini over his open letter to fans.
Carver believes the letter proves he cares about the club's current predicament just as much as the fans.
"When I saw the letter and got the translation, I could tell it had come from the heart," said Carver.
"You can tell he means every single word of it. It was his idea, he wanted to do it because he's been in this situation before when the club was last relegated.
"Some people will be critical of him because all season, he's not really said anything but he's saying it now.
"He's stepped forward and said, 'John's not the problem, we've got to sort it our ourselves'. And I think that speaks volumes about him."
