Going to Cas

I TOTALLY AGREE. What short memories some folk have. I say, thanks for all you have done for us John; we wouldn't be here without you. I hope you get the chance with us to show what you really can do given some proper money to spend but if you move on, good luck mate and cheers..and ignore the thickets slamming you on here

I'm thankful for everying Kear has done, he's punched above his weight with the team, he's steered us away from relegation and got us into the play-offs. He's been a leader and a remarkable man to steer us through one disaster to another, but, with regret for the benefit of both parties it's time to move on.

Thankyou and good luck
(In my opinion)

Kear needs Beans, for making the coffee

7 interviewed for cas job and JK was not one of them

I fail to see the difference with John Kear looking at the Cas job as a security net and the likes of Morrison, Murphy, George et all looking at other clubs as a safety net. They are just taking care of their futures if their current situation becomes untenable. Yet one is treatyed as a pariah for doing so and the others receive understanding and support - weird.

John Kear has worked his b@@locks off on a limited/no budget and worked mircales to first of all keep us up and then keep us in Super League.

His tactics have gone the way of the teams available to him, he has covered for the loss of key players and always managed to find us other gems to replace the leavers. Even this season by finding and nurturing the likes of Mariano, Johnson and Amor.

He deserves a crack at superleague with Wakefield and a supportive chairman who makes money available for quality signings.

If he makes a mess of it then - he's fair game - otherwise I don't think we'll find better than John Kear anywhere soon.

what about the salford job or the bradford job,or the catalans job. didnt he look at any of these.

I don't know - but if he did, who could blame him - his contract was up at the end of the year and (along with everyone else including you

) he expected us not to get a franchise and not be within a Championship budget for a coach. He wasn't the only one who may have given up and looked at alternatives, hell most of our fans had!

needs to now let him sort his future else where now. a new start for me

he lost my support at the beginning of the season and sealed it 12 days ago when he fancied the cas job

based on the same thinking snowie - would you jettison the 'want away 8'?

you can take Mcdermott and Lowes from us they even come with free cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just leave the cake and be off with you,

Would have to be a HUGE cake with buttercream filling and a cherry on top and thats just for Mac, that other loser is not welcome at BV.

I defended not letting Kear go before the license decision as it made sense not to rock the boat at that time, and from a PR perspective would've been suicide. Yes, people may point to the players he has had to work with this season and claim they are not a true reflection of his ability, but for me, we have to move on. Kear will always be remembered for saving our bacon, and the climax to that season, even this, optimises the man and his style of play. Backs to the wall. But if we are to move forward, and now is the time to do so, the end of this season should signal the end of John Kear as coach of Wakefield Trinity.

It's time to show our intent. We need to move on.

For Penrith to offer him their caretaker job he has demonstrated he is good enough. He still wants a job in the Super League and did apply for the Salford job. He is relatively young, and having played for the club, knows what we are about. To offer Kear another contract on the back of yesterdays news would for me show a lack of ambition. We need to move on, we need new ideas, for me, we need a Steve Georgallis, or someone versed in the modern game.

think he mat be the new Cas coach

Well he wants to stay now. [urlhttp://www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=rleague/11/07/27/RUGBYL_Wakefield_Kear.html&BID=480[/url

My opinion is thanks for everything John but its time for a change. And take Broadbent & Sanctuary with you. Georgallis would be ideal, served a good apprenticeship, has been coaching first grade so is up to speed with modern coaching techniques in the best league in the world, is keen to come back to this country and has been at the club before. Put a young british assistant alongside him and get a top quality, proven rugby league conditoner to work with all age groups in the club.

No!! but i would quite like Amor on a permanent basis if at all poss???

If we are going to replace Kear we should do it sooner rather than later, so the new coach can get the team HE wants for next season

Agree

I concur.

Thats the name I was going to mention for the reason you've put. Apparently him and his players are pretty peeved he never even got a chance to apply for the vacant job at Penrith. Love to see him here, I would expect he would be in our price range.

A possible problem with Georgalis, or a.n.other Aussie coach; they don't know the UK-based players. He may be able to uncover a couple of pearls from over there, but If we are looking to get a largely British squad who will do the recruitment?

You have to give him credit he certainly has a big set of balls.

He is starting to sound exactly like Noble when everyone knew it was time for him to go at Wigan. Using the media to try to manipulate his way back in.

Can't blame him really as I anticipate leaving Wakefield would mean the end of his top flight career.

In my opinion and what I hear from the players it would be near impossible for him to stay, but I guess with the pressure of the franchise decision now lifted opinions may change also.

What ever is happening with Kear,it needs resolving urgently.

Personally,thanks for your efforts JK,but bye bye.

We need to start looking at recruitment for next season and beyond asap and this would be best done having resolved the head coach situation.

i think that this is key too. we're already way behind the others in terms of recruitment and will be picking over the slops before long. in depth knowledge of the british game is required, but somebody that could bring in three willie poching type imports would be welcome!
