Name me a better one then, I await with interest (and for god sake don't say Toppo because Trinity's expert fans at the time wanted him out for all the same reasons).

Fantasist like you make me laugh, please tell me the kids he didn't promote who are now ripping it up in SL elsewhere. Truth is they can always go elsewhere and if they are good enough they will make the grade. Kear picks teams based on far more knowledge of the squad and players than you will ever have yet you seem to think you know better. Kear won 7 games with a scratch team made up mainly of youngsters yet he was bagged for not overloading the team with even more - incredible. Yes I get the point that a few deserved a shot towards the end but then when you have not been offered a new deal yourself you'd be tempted to take the easy option - I would, but unlike most Trin fans I realise things work both ways.

Ray Batten, for whatever reason, was in charge when we appeared to have a really good side with plenty of good rugby and set pieces. Left twice after fall outs with the BOD. I'd give him the vote as the best since the 60's heyday.

Getting om with the BOD is surely one of the things that make a great coach. Taking your ball home everytime it goes against you sounds poor to me. I have no doubt he was a good coach just not suitable for the job at that level it would appear to me. Hope your not Ray icon_cool.gif

Toppo - just to spite you! icon_wink.gif

I honestly still rank him as my favourite coach, but even he would admit that he was here too long.

Toppo understood where the club was in the food chain and, like JK, used all the tricks in the book to get the best squad available and get pretty much the most out of them.

JK can leave with his head held high. He has played his part in our history and achieved more than we deserved based on the resources available. I really hope we see lots of John on the TV over the next few years as I enjoy listening to his views on the game. Thank You John! a014.gif

Quote: TRB "Toppo - just to spite you!
I prefer Kear TBH but it's close as IMO the life of a Coach is far more pressurised now than then. Toppo never face a million pound game, wasn't even a million pound comp icon_biggrin.gif

I totally get your point regarding the food chain, and over the last few weeks the more I thought about Agar the more i saw the fit. I'm not sure he has Kears charisma or Toppos legendary status as a player but technically he's qualified and he does know RL in the WMDC. Agar could crash and burn but I wouldn't be surprised if he does rather well.
