I think everyone in the crowd 2nite should join in and sing there's only Jonny Kear.and potetially lift the new roof of the stadium before its even built.

My favourite RL person in the whole world. All the best for the future.

Top job Mr Kear. Although its been a struggle at times, especially second half of this season, you have done this club proud.
Saved our SL lives in your first 6 games (god knows where we would be today without that effort) and you have had to deal with more c"^p over the last 18 months than most will deal with in a lifetime.
Thank you and good luck in the future

Thanks John for all you have done at Trinity. You should be given the keys of Wakefield for saving our necks. I hope you get the send off you deserve

I just want to add my thanks John. You've saved us more than many may recognise. If we'd have gone down I'm sure we'd have folded as a club before long. You have worked miracles on very little money - even getting some wins this season after the administrator sold some of our best players from an already weakened team was a decided victory which many fans on here seem to forget.

You've always been friendly, cheerful, enthusiastic to both individual supporters and groups and, more importantly, you've always been a true gent. I will always remember your achievements and I'm sure many others will as well.

All the best for the future - and I hope it's still with the game you have so much passion for.

Just goes to show you know nowt Mick!!! With six games to go in 2006, he was the only man who could have got us out of that mess!!

proven to be the best man to be our in coach during his time although his time has run out and we move on. Thank you John Kear for all your hard work over the years and all the best for the future.

cant add to that good luck John

Many thanks for taking the club through difficult times.
Cheers

Have always known that, you still think you know something.

Well done John Kear! You worked a miracle again this year but unfortunately we obviously expect more than that at Wakefield!

Well done JK and the lads today. Once again last day survival so to speak. Never finished bottom still.
they've produced another minor miracle tonight and for all his faults theres not so many other coaches who could have got us off the bottom tonight. Go away with your head held high JK, I and many others have bagged you in the spur of the moment reactions, lookinmg back on the bigger picture you are a small part of Wakefields history and cand be considered our best coach to date in Super League regardless of the brand of rugby we've played. Fitting way to end his Wakey career. Bet Cas are gutted tonight they thought they knew that our taunts of never having finished bottom would finish tonight, unfortunately for them, they haven't!

Finishing anywhere other than 14th is another miracle produced by John Kear. Thanks for everything over the past 5/6 years, we do genuinely appreciate it. All the best!

I will add to the thanks John very had long slog and I bet you wish you had the owner we have now

good luck at Batley

well said, Thanks John without you we would not have survived that first season, the tragedies etc. Good luck in the future., Sue Parker

Cheers John and good luck in whatever you choose to do next, it's been a rollercoaster of a ride while you've been here but I've had some real great memories to savior. It's a real shame these last two years have had more downs than ups and that's been mostly out of your control but again you've done your last game of the season magic again, Thanks a lot mate.

I have always liked JK and probably always will. Thank you.

Good luck JK, hope you enjoy a successful future whatever path it takes. Not may people could have kept this club together with the loss of 2 players under such tragic circumstances and the the financial constraints faced especially the budget given by the previous regime for this year. Travellimg to Cardiff we didn't know if we would have a club to support in SL and everyone said we would finish bottom but you proved them wrong. Well done to you and well done to AG for having the courage to take over a SL club.

Good luck & thankyou for the last 6 seasons. A lot of people will remember the Cas game as been your finest moment but for me I think the win at Odsal was the defining moment. I remember after the game all the Wakey fans were delirious after the final whistle beating one of the top 4 on there own patch, but I remember JK been calm & just saying that the jobs only half done (the only cool calm Wakey person in Bradford)
He has also seen more adversity in his Wakey career than all the present SL coaches have seen in their coaching lives, with the sudden deaths of 3 players, needing to get 6 points out of 10 in his first 5 games, administration/points deduction no money & staring down the barrel of losing out on the SL franchise, he has seen it all.
So whatever JK does next in his life (bear baiting ,crocodile hunting etc) I`m sure he will find it a lot easier than coaching Wakey.

Ha ha well said!

There have been some memorable times with John at the helm - from that first night at Cas winning with only 11 men.

A CC semi-final and a play-off were the undoubted highlights but there have been a number of great (and unexpected wins) e.g. first match at Wigan following Adam's death.

As the public face of the club John brought us through the tragic events of 2008 and 2009 with great dignity.

Thanks John and good luck with whatever you do in the future.

Dignity, whatever peoples views of John this word imo sums him up.


Thanks for the Ride John, its been bumpy but interesting.

Best of luck for the future.

Delighted that the players dug deep one more time to give JK the positive send-off he deserves.

Thanks for guiding this club calmly through troubled times, John, and all the best for the future.

thanked him last night gave him a hug n kiss, the speach he gave was from the bottom of his heart he certainly made me cry.
so once again
thankyou
king kear

It was nice to give him the send off he deserves.Cheers JK

John Kear has been the best coach Wakefield Trinity have had in my 23 years of supporting, and if the choice was mine he'd be given another 3 years. The Castleford game will always be the stand out moment for me, but he's also been a class above when dealing with the tough times the club had faced, and there has certainly been a few. I hope he stays in the game, but I would love to see him in the Sky commentery box on a permanent basis. Great guy, great coach and I wish him all the best in the future. And what a way to finish, with both a peformance and result to be proud of.
