For me the first choice would be Kear. Yes he's in contract but this is at a lower league club which we could probably buy out of. Also for the quality and experience he brings I think he would be good value and not the high price of some other coaches. Bradford are also not the best in their league and have had recent financial issues so are not going to pull up any trees.

I would look to bring Kear in for 2 years to steady the ship. In 2006 he made an immediate impact and saved the club. By 2009 he had got us to a CC semi-final and the top 5 of the league. Then the finances fell apart and he grafted with a make shift squad, again keeping us off the bottom of the league. The rugby wasn't great in that final year but it did the job with an extremely limited squad.

Roll forward to 2017. He had a great impact as director of rugby and effectively Chester's no.2. In around 35 years of following the club 2017 was the best season I've seen and was us punching above our weight.

JK knows the club inside out, has a good relationship with the current management and has worked with a lot of our existing squad. He would come under no illusions about budget, talent or ambition.

As for others, Danny Ward maybe a probable 2nd choice. I just don't know why he left London, anyone have the full story? They had a full time squad but weren't pushing up trees in the Championship, why?

Brian Mac, hmm not so sure. He inherited a great, winning squad at a big club which is a complete contrast to what we have. Also, with a big budget at Toronto they didn't win a game in their short lived SL life.

Rowley, no thanks, thug rugby which is just awful. He had Leigh and Toronto dominate the Championship and failed to get either promoted with all the talent at his disposal.

That’s not how I remember it. The club was in free fall at the time, all he asked was permission to speak to them. This was denied without a compensation clause.

You may wish to denounce him but frankly I think it stunk. The club was going under and JK would have been out of a job anyway. Yet despite all he’d done for the club the management at the time couldn’t resist trying to squeeze a few more quid out of the bloke.

Contrast the to CC treatment and I know who got the better deal and why the other may feel aggrieved. I’d be amazed if JK came back, I wouldn’t if I were him, but strangers things have happened.

Imo Kear did more for Trinity than Trinity did for him, I honestly don’t see why he should trouble himself further.

Finally you playing the loyalty card is quite laughable. You’ve been threatening us for years now that you’re no longer going to support the team because you’re sick to death of it. Well if it’s ok for you then it was ok for Kear.

A bit unfair on Kear here Snowie, It was the French owner what asked to speak to the club about Kear, the only reason he did not go was down to Ted asking for more compensation that Bernard DooDar was willing to pay, there's no doubt Kear would have gone in his position who wouldn't but to say he tried to engineer a move to Catalans is so wrong.

I'm a wkefield fan snowie watched them in the fantastic 60s il belittle em too in the doldrums for too long need a winner as a coach mcdermots a winner could be a bully good thats what we need get rid of such of fifita a big money nobody guessing a 18stone guy running about 12 get rid of such for a start

There certainly wouldn’t be any slackers in the team with McDermott in charge.

Up the Trin

while yes I've shown frustrations with the way the proposed stadium is just gone from bad to worse and the way the team has performed as late, the way the game is heading at present just adds to that too but you don't just stop having feelings for the club when you followed them from child hood, another over reaction you
