Heard Richard Kelly left as head of youth, who has replaced him? Seemed to be doing a good job

If thats true it will be a big loss

A massive loss if true considering a lot of the young players signed were down to the way Richard dealt with the lads and their parents

His twitter has changed - head of youth at Wakefield has been removed from his profile.

That's a shame, always liked reading his thoughts on the game.

Yes I am sure was one of ours as well.

Again?

Thought he was in his ideal position this time. Shame.

Was thinking that myself - second time at the club, third if you count him as a player.

I don't know him but some people can be very good at what they do but just can't handle the dream job when they get.

I'm sure there will be loads of finger pointing but maybe he's just to much the fan to be able to treat it like a normal job - that's my guess and it's just a guess.

Errm why even guess. You don't know any of the circumstances.

Aren't you guessing with that statement?

Surprising and disappointing if true as he's been doing a very good job and is well liked. Has helped oversee an improvement in the RFL's academy grading and that will bear fruit.

No

Let me explain that better.

It looks like Richard Kelly has left his role at Wakefield Trinity.
I don't know why.

It's OK to discuss the consequences to Trinity, possible replacements even how well the job was done as you would with a player but it's not fair to guess or draw conclusions about why he left.
He's a real person and it's his job. Same for any of us. And it's covered by the AUP so please don't cross the line to make it personal.
I don't think that was anyone's intention so far.... I just want to make my point clear.....as I clearly didn't first time.

Why not, I believe this used to be a forum



I think the fact that I said I was guessing should be enough.I may be well off, but I'm not suggesting I'm spot on either.

What next, can't we 'guess' the result for the Hull game

Richard Kelly is a person, of course.

David Fifita's wife is a person.
Scott Moore is a person.
Richard Agar is a person.
James Elston is a person.

Multiple threads about these plus many, many others full of speculation, conjecture and rumour. What's the difference?

Not the same Vasty. The fact that you are guessing is the problem.
He's a person. Let's see what the details are first.

Exactly, if true he's now a private person unattached to the club and therefore unless he or the club decides to make public why he's left then people should respect that instead of speculating on private matters, just my opinion really.

I have read some crap in my time, but what has previous jobs roles ect at Wakefield got to do with Kelly leaving ? He has made a massive, enormous difference to the steaming pile left by Ryan badge kisser Hudson.
He has brought in players who wouldnt have sniffed at Wakefield 2 years ago, brought a fantastic Apps system for the players, and worked 60 plus hours every week. I have a lad here, and without his support he would have packed in by now, and thats a fact. I have no idea why he has left, but I do know that as a development and talent id person, he is the best at the Club, hands down. In the last 3 years we have had a massive turnover of coaches at Academy and scholar level, and it needs to stop.
Wigan the biggest and by far the best club in the Uk with regard to Talent ID and development of young players have not got there by chance. The Wigan way is simple, get the best coaches, ther most dedicated, and try to make sure they themselves are Wigan through and through, and we now loose someone who if you cut him in half he would be red white and blue.
I can only speak for myself and my son, but thanks Richard for everything you have done for us, and many others in your way too short stay at the club.

Shame he's gone, if he has, as he seemed to be doing a great job and genuinely cares about the club. The reason why he left will ultimately come out in the wash but hopefully his replacement will be equally as dedicated as Richard in developing the young players.

Yes, shame if he's has gone.

So why are you on here, do you read newspapers? Since when has speculating on anything been wrong. It's only wrong when you dress it up as fact, as if you know the truth - I didn't. We may as well give up on personal freedom if that's the level we are dropping to. Just my opinion whilst it's still allowed. Kept it t one paragraph for you if that helps quoting me.

No, you over reacted and can't admit you were wrong. This is not RK's private life, this is an issue regarding the clubs future - no different to a player or a coach. So if Chester just picked up sticks and left you'd allow no speculation?

Just stop Vasty. It's not all about you.
I've explained why it's not the same.

Make no wonder this site has become a ghost town, why bother if we can't debate something, fwiw I'm with vastman on this, you where completely over the top and made yourself look like a certain Mr Vause.

What you blubbering on about now


Oh and if it's possible which I doubt, why don'y you keep yer gob shut until you know the truth.
