Clearly running out of options after not getting the other jobs he applied for so with D day approaching and no new contract with us on the horizon, he finally decides to come out and admit he is interested in one of the few jobs left.

Now its out in the open we need to get him and the rest of his coaching staff out and move on. I would rather the club pay them off for remainder of their contracts and start working on our future whichever league that may be in. Would also be interested to see what the squad would do with some fresh ideas from the coaching perspective.

didnt hull get shut of him for too much tv work among other things?

And if I'm not mistaken Sky had a big input into him getting the job at BV, wasnt he a pundit at a live game just before he got the job?

What would they want him for?

Why would anyone in the right mind take him accept SKY commentary team?

I bet Kear is already analysing Castleford's videos, sod getting a Wakefield outfit prepared for the Lion's den tomorrow.

I hope we get a good side for next year or 2015 and smash any team Kear is in charge of. If I was AG I'd use it via clever PR for momentum.... Then again I think Cas once did?

Seriously though for the first time in 3 years I want us to [ikeep him[/i until the end of the season so the fans can generate their displeasure at him.

Hopefully this will kill off calls for Kear to remain if by some miracle we remain in SL.

Agree with Snowie to make such a statement to the media 2 weeks before the franchise decision is really bad timing for us and tells you his heart is elsewhere and to be frank it probably has been for a while. He should have gone sooner, as I can't help thinking he hasn't been taking the job seriously since the Cas cup game and that is borne out by results and performance levels since.

Someone said AG and Jimmy E were avid readers of this forum, if so why havn't they acted on the crystal clear dissatifaction we have of mr kears managment attributes and managerial staff?

Maybe they have and told him no new contract regardless of whether we stay in SL and thats whats prompted is public expression of interest in the Cas job.

Who does John Kear think he is looking for another job when he may be out of work in two months time? Terrible behaviour.

took over in July 2006 he may be just days away if the contract was year to year

I think the swing has only just happened in the last couple of days, before hand it was mainly disparaging comments about the 5 drives and a kick.

give over the timing ain't doing the club favours is it

It's not the first job he has looked at whilst seemingly being uninterested since the cas cup game in doing the one he already has. Plus even the most blinkered Kear fan such as you can see that his announcement to the media this morning was ill-timed and poorly thought out - as I said apply for the job like all the others he has done, but no need to publicly announce it.

In fact he has probably reduced his chances of getting it, as if it was left to RW he might have stood a chance, but the majority of Cas fans will express their displeasure about him being coach following his announcement and thus IMO he won't get the job.

i am really ed off that the kids have not been given a go...sorry to say but jk does NOT have us as his main concern anymore...

I doubt he has gone out and released a statement to the media. More likely he was asked, and gave an honest answer. He will have some idea whether the club plans to retain him or not, and if no talks have been forthcoming it will be a good indicator that he's going to be out of work pretty soon. As for the other jobs, we all saw what happened to the club last year, and I'm sure everybody who felt the business they were working for were in danger of going under would be out looking for other jobs straight away. I hope he stays whether whichever league we are in next season.

Was there any need to announce it in a press conference though, right at the time when we appear to have absolutely no motivation on the field of play?

If I were AG, I'd send him home on garden leave for the rest of the season.

jk wanted to go to catalan last year muppet!

wow that's a new angle to look upon it

tell you now he will be going

he's made his bed let him lay in it

Your entitled to your opinion, but why anyone would still want Kear in charge is beyond me. Poor performances since Cas cup game, strange team selections, rubbish tactics, pathway to first team seemingly being blocked for our own young players.

that would be the best idea

bye bye jk! saviour of wakefield..and then ???

He can be as interested as he likes, from what I've heard the jobs gone. No offence either, but when he came on board at wakey I thought it was a bad choice for you. I've never rated him as a coach and he's done little over the years to change my opinion.

And that's my point you clown! He knew what was happening at the club, and felt that he needed something more secure as I'm sure he has bills to pay as well. We only saw the club go tits up in December, I'm sure people on the inside knew long before that.

????? what is that to do with this year then ??? biscuit and taking? we have signed rubbish, played rubbish with no ideas...who will want a coach with 5 drives and a kick? also what happened to his announcement that we were now playing young british kids? load of balls to me mate...obviously i am a clown because i believed what the man said !

I can't bring myself to argue too feircly with someone whose avatar is "I'm wakefieldtillidie" as you abviously love our club as much as i do , BUT, if I were out of contract in 3 months I would be doing my upmost to get another at my current employers, as the job options i am in(talking as a rugby coach in the top league) is pretty limited.

but would you broadcast it two weeks before they know whether the club has a franchise

totally different he is in the public eye

two weeks going to make that much
