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

No. to be honest I think he's a cock!

I think John Kear knows he won't be at Wakefield next season, even if he wins every game between now and September.

that's put a smile on my face

lets see what comes tomoz

Announcing he's interested in other jobs in a press conference when our lad are on a all time low and need leadership. I've never jumped on the Kear out band wagon even last season but that's the last straw for me. Kear Out

But he WOULD have been if he had applied the same stratergy as he did at the start of the seaseon. We would have all accepted losing IF we had (kear included) given EVERYTHING and played with our breaches s, not capitulated like we have done since our loss to cas. Also dont forget he has made some appauling team selections.

I disagree with that too. I don't think there was ever a chance of him staying beyond the end of this season.

Why?

I just think that the decision had been made before this season even started that he would be leaving when his contract was up, regardless of results.

I've supported Kear up until now, but that is shameful John, last thing the players and fans want to hear in our current situation.

See you John, close the door on the way out.

The thing is he has been good for the club. He provided stability when it was needed and improved the structure of the club no end. Trinity have had some relatively good seasons under his stewardship. Things look crap now and it appears he has reached his shelf life at Wakefield so things are coming to a natural end.

He will do a good job for another lower end SL club.

I think we all know he will be leaving at the end of the season (if not before) I honestly cant see why he would announce this now? He shouldnt come out and say I'm at Wakefield forever but he shouldnt do this..
Anyway reguarding the players they all (ok most..) seem to be telling everybody they are going here there and everywhere next year so I doubt they will be bothered!!!!!

man soon to be out of a job expresses interest in job vacancy. it's hardly the notw phone tapping case is it.

John Kear got himself the job, after David Howes his agent had a word with Steve Ferres after he finally gave up trying to talk James Lowes into coming here, fwiw the said meeting between the two took place at the Woolley Edge sevice area on the Sunday morning before the announcement the following day, how do I know all this you might ask, sun bed kid who just happen to be having a meeting with an important client there at the time told me.
