Thanks for a intelligent answer pal unlike some of the others on here.

Irony; consisting of, containing or resembling iron.

I have to laugh at the way some people view last season as abysmal etc.

Though it was hardly a classic anyone who has supported Trinity for more than 5 minutes will know what a real abysmal season is like and 2010 wasn't.

The 1980's with it's numerous relegations. The 1990's with 3 years lost in division 2. The early 2000's with relegation escape time and time again.

Last year was not great, but abysmal....nah

he still has the good the bad n the ugly as his sig

You talk about keeping Kear and then say shake up. How exactly is bringing a new coach for Beans a shake up???? When you are still keeping the main decision maker.

To put it in simple terms you are talking about getting rid of the apprentice because the teacher isn't good enough. The problem is clear, we have a coach with an ailing sense of loyalty, who tried to bail twice last season and was linked with a move to the capital before they announced McDermott's replacement. Don't forget not so long ago after Topliss passed away, the (lord and god (in some people's eyes)) Kear said something along the lines of wanting to beat his good friend David Topliss' record in charge at Wakefield and lead us into the new stadium. We have a fitness coach who is probably really good at getting consistent results in the other sports he has been involved with, but not he is not showing consistent results with us.

I think John Kear has done a great job for us, but like all things eventually they run their course and have to move on. Yes he lost three big players last year, but is still hardly justification for the poor run in the second half of the season. He over achieved at Sheffield, won a cup at Hull but then lost the dressing room. As for the international job, well to be honest he is supposed to be a big game coach and the games don't get any bigger than Internationals. With the best players to pick from he did nothing.

If a shake up is the answer, then it has to be a clean sweep. You can't leave the head person in situ and expect better results. As for the 'There is nobody else' that's just a poor argument, there always somebody else, other teams have managed to find replacements.

Sums it up perfectly for me, and probably a lot more on here as well.

for some reason jk will always be backed by many on here.even if we where to lose first ten league games by an average of 40 pts and get knocked out of challange cup by a lower league club we would still get the "in king kear we trust" type of comments.i hope it doesnt come to that as i want him to suceed and us to a fantastic run of results but with the squad he as assembled i cant see it(no proper SH,short of centres and prop too many FB and no full time goal kicker)

dont have a shake up there enough marbles loose in there already newgroundb4cas

I can't believe we're talking about coaches and shake ups before the season's even started !!!

Clean slate - fresh start.

Let's get behind the players and the coaching staff and give them the support they require.
