At this moment, any number of amateur team coaches could do just as good a job as the present incumbent. The question is irrelevant until someone takes the decision to remove Kear.

I think whoever does come in, we need to invest in an assistant as well. This isn't having a pop at Mark Dunning & Leigh Beattie. But they also have the responsibility of running the academy and reserves. It can't help.

Someone like Langley or Leon would be ideal as an assistant IMO

Who are the realistic candidates?

Enough is enough

Clearly he has to go

What cheap option are we gonna get to replace him with? No coach with aspirations will come to us, probably end up with Beattie or some nobody from West Bowling.

We have a decent squad on paper at least if they can get fit and play more expansively.

For now we have a decent budget too. OK not Leigh or Fev levels but better than most.

We ought to be doing a heck of a lot better than we are.

The youth and talent all left for Hull kr 2 and half years ago.All that is left is a dinosaur coach,his yes man sidekick,and an old boys network of players.Results don't overly upset me but boring,uninspired,and gutless performances do.

Bang on bullseye. Kear's strongest point was always his ability to motivate a team (Sheffield, Hull Cup Finals etc and us against Leeds a couple of years ago). That's not happening now, has he lost the dressing room? If he has that's the end. On paper we have a decent enough squad to be in the top 6 but it's just not happening.
Our halfbacks are not firing now. They were and only a few weeks ago we ran Leigh very close and possibly were the better team.
There seems to be no real game plan or if there is it's a bad one.
I like Kear and he has been good for us overall but we need some new blood now, someone like Danny Ward would be great.

If we can’t afford a proven coach then give a young coach a chance until the end of the season. Nothing to lose and can’t do any worse.

I don’t follow RL closely away from Bradford anymore. Who is realistic and available? Baloo?

Kear doesn’t feel under pressure and won’t be listening to the fans as he’s not on social media.

Criticises the performance but comments that we’ve got a 50% record. Nothings going to improve, we’ll scrape past some poor teams and finish mid table. Sounds like those at the club will be ok with that.

Who is going to turn up vs Fev after that performance and those comments?

I’m not sure where you get the idea the club seem happy with it. From what I know they are far from happy, concerned at drop off in crowds or future drop off, style of play. I don’t think he will be here next season it’s just whether we have the finances to cut early?

That's interesting. The club have to act now. People will support the club if they are seen to be listening and understand the frustration. Every day that the fans think the club are tone deaf and blind to the situation in a 2009/10 will erode the trust even more.

On the new coach, it all depends on the budget. If they're offered a decent budget and see some good young players who are committed to the club there'll be plenty of good coaches apply. If there isn't, then there won't.

Well finances aren't going to improve with him in charge either. I won't pretend I still go every week but I've been to two home games this year and I won't be going to anymore unless the style and standards improve. I can't see how that happens with Kear as I believe he is part of the problem now.

Well we only seem to hear from Kear and he doesn’t seem too worried.

The only other bit I can see in the press is the general manager hoping for “another thrilling game”. I can’t remember the last time I saw a thrilling game at Odsal.

If you’ve got some insider knowledge then spit it out.
