Kear took him to Hull from York and Brough was in the side which won the Challenge Cup in 2005, so I reckon Kear played his part in bringing him to Belle Vue from Cas. Didn't Jason Golden come from York at a similar time to Blaymire?

Master stroke by carter Chester and Kear both huge Wakefield connections. Kear is a fantastic bloke and a terrific coach. What hes done at Batley this year and when he saved us the bloke is magic. His experience will help Carter know end. Future is bright we realistically couldnt have got anyone better than these 2. I hope the North stand is in full flow Friday this is a great move by the club.

Big mistake overloading with so many average players. A creative halfback and strike forward could of been signed rather than half dozen never will bes . Could not of seen Kear overseeing that.

And that's the problem we have got, a third of the way through season before the eights .only one win from seven and Hudds. on Friday at home.a must win game for our new coach, will he be able to lift the players and create a spark of creative play from them.the defence seems to be improving but without a few players in the team raising their game to a new level it is going to be another season of struggle.

Their huge travelling support will be our biggest problem, it'll be like an extra player on the field for them with the noise they create

Rumour has it they've put on an extra taxi for Friday's game.

To be fair in the last few seasons they have brought a half decent support, be interesting to see if they do
on Friday.

ive heard they've all gone off for the Easter break, not bringing anyone

Nah, they will all be at the Sheffield game this week

If meast isn't busy doing his stuff on the VT, he'll turn up if only to complain that he can't see the game from the terrace and the abuse he receives from the Wakey fans who it would seem only turn up to harass him and the other 4 fans

As Nailed on as a Hudders win at BV!

All that is true but are you seriously suggesting it was a signing Kear had nothing to do with, that seems to be what you are saying. I assume Brough was top of Kears list and Ferres did the deal, still makes it a Kear signing in my book.

As for Tommy Lee, don't you feel he was a bit of a scapegoat? It was a desperate situatin not of Kears making and he was a desperate signing. Fan of Ted though I am it was he and not Kear who had put the club in that situation, surely?

we miss Ted don't we vasty

I'm afraid we do snowie. He ran the club for 15 years and you know something we actually managed to win a few games. You're new best buddy has so far served us up three seasons of endless misery and dross though we do have a sound bank balance apparantly, not that I've actually seen the books myself. So forgive me if I look back at the Ted years with a certain fondness, warts and all. Though I'm not anti Carter I'd love a Chairman who's agaenda I at least understood. Maybe we are on the brink with MC and his luck will change but boy it's been hard work so far.

You do realise by the way I was actually blaming Ted or did you not read the post properly as per usual?

and in that 15 years took us where
I really can't get my head round you of late, your happy for the club to be on a sound footing but we had three season of endless dross, but because you haven't seen the books you don't believe his comments, so your happy for someone to be reckless and nearly lose the club all together but your not anti Carter and can understand why we had to do what they had to do,
you my friend need to shrink your head back in, wasn't a few yrs ago you came on here and said that you have had enough and walked away, all of a sudden were back to big old vasty just picking anyone that goes against what you think, and as Carter being my best buddy nar but he's not far off
