all those who doubted may use this thread to clean their souls , BTW this also includes deluded cas fans who even last week were predicting a 8th place for wakey .

we have made the playoffs despite all the adversity , injuries , loaned out players , stadium knock backs , sadness ect ect and to top it off the academy lads (1 of whom scored today

) will host wire at belle vue as minor champions .

not bad eh

im off for a lie down as per doctor wife

I will admit that i was one callign for king kears head.
7 losses in a row? was it.

who cares, and remembers now.

I hold my hand up and admit i was wrong.

Long live King John Kear

me thinks one or 2 need to sign up



come on all the preseason doubters who slatted us for looking though rose tinted and were getting more and more upset about teds suites and light bulbs

I never doubted him



(Then again, I am an eternal optimist

)

I think i need to stand up too.
After Cas at home last year i said the same, King John, I was wrong,

you know I was so pleased top hear that John Kear was coming to save us for relegation, which did, I couldn't believe how lucky we was,
I next expected for him to tempted away from us and was pleased for him to stop another season, we have huddersfield and hull fans saying that he loses control of the dressing room and players don't believe in him,

I have and still do, he has the father figure that our club needs, we have had to endure the heartache of losing two players and I feel that his strength as a leader has helped all the teams bond, not only does do his work he also takes time out to watch the young academy lads too,

long may he continue ironing out our problems for us

I'm sure the coach we have @ Wakey is a lot different than the coach @ Sheffield,Hudds,Wigan and Hull.
You learn and mature by mistakes and I'm sure there's still some made now but not nearly as noticeable.
He has definately been the right choice for Wakey and you never know we may still grab some silverware under him.

can honestly say i have never doubted him believe it or not. i am the eternal optimist, but after seeing the players he has neutured from nl1 and shaped into first grade sl players , stood by other players in rocky times when they needed a confidence boost and had the ba..s to discipline others when needed it. his man management skills are top drawer. he has led the club on field and off field out of the dark ages and made massive strides forward and continues to lead by example. putting in the hard work that makes a club tick. long may he continue.

I hope that was a typo!

nurtured I do believe he was trying to say

correct. thankyou very much.

ive just about forgiven him now for forking us at the don valley that time

I agree. Whenever we talk about bringing top players in and fending off other clubs, in reality Kear is our MVP and we should never let him go, especially if money was the issue. (not saying it is an issue of course)

I think Kear and Broadbent need to "TAKE A BOW SON" as Andy Gray says.Apart from Brough and potentially one or two others which we could argue about all day he has took a team of solid average hard working pros and took them over a season to the position we are in now....just think we could quite easily be where Shudds or HKR are, are now.

Just think wher we could be if we will had a stand off , a Korki style prop all season and a ball playing loose forward.

in grix we have a stand off, or loose forward at prop see tronc!

jk inherited the squad..he has improved the squad and the players and got rid of the dead wood (scumthorpe) .. the way we have played this year has been a big step up for me and the rugby we have played at times is "un wakey like".

we nearly beat leeds, beat saints, lost to hull kr due to a cheap shot on drew (pity we didn't do one on briers last night!)

i think that we could be the dark horses in the play off's.

THANKS JK!

Might find scumthorpe was one of kears first signings.

jk made a mistake then ! as well as peterson.. at least he realises it and gets rid..

At that time SF was the architect in cheif regarding player signings.

The system is now down to the football committee, with JK clearly an integral part of that process.

Which cas fans? most cas fans i have heard on the subject have said you would make the playoffs for the last few months.I'll even be shouting for you against catalns

you need to look at the thread about where we will finish from about a week ago



although im not saying you are 1 of the deluded

i could be wrong but didn't morley make a prediction we were gonna finish at the bottom? or was that last year?

Many people make that prediction every year and long may it continue. Keep writing Wakefield off, for it provide Kear with the right tools to get the best out of his players.

Even after the dummy spitting and knee jerk reactions of many during the 10 game losing streak I always said it would be criminal to ditch a guy who has not only turned the club around on the pitch but also off it. My opinion at the time was there was no one better placed or qualified to steer things and that is still my view now. Stability goes a long way to securing (relative) success and the club is obviously better off for it.
