John Carver: I've applied for the Aston Villa job

Former Newcastle United manager John Carver has admitted he's applied for the vacant manager's role at Aston Villa.

Last week Aston Villa parted ways with their manager Remi Garde with them looking resigned to relegation to the Championship. Carver believes they need to make a change sooner rather than later.

He said: "I've havent heard anything yet, though," adding, "I think whatever they do, they have to do it reasonably quickly to get a steal on everybody else."
