I think he's lined up for the Hull job, if it doesn't work out for Radford

I remember JK being interviewed after a Sky game shortly after he'd taken over. He turned to the camera with a beaming smile and personally told Stevo what his expected win rate/percentage was to keep us up. There was absolutely no reason to not believe in him. That's the kind of coach we are crying out for again, not one who talks the game down a week in advance then searches for the positives in a 50 point drubbing. JK might not be the man to do it again but I'd believe he could if he did come back.

You are very,very welcome to him, should the need arise but, please don't foist him on Wakefield, we really have enough to cope with.

I would go for Morrisson but would be quite happy with Kear or Kelly.

Available and at what cost

There are a few on the list that I would not be bothered about.

Of those who could do a job some might not want a high pressure with low budget, high expectations job for 11 months.

As i've put elsewhere short term Kear with him then becoming director of rugby to be replaced as coach by Morrison would be my ideal.

That could be a costly option.

So be it. The cheap option won't work and will cost more in the long run.

In this ideal situation presumably Kear would be working for the love of the club and very little financial incentive when he went upstairs, but surely if Morrison can't do the job on his own without kear's help why would the club want him in the first place, wouldn't it be simpler to just get a coach that can do the job instead.

My reasoning is the short term impact that this team desperately needs is something that Kear has proven he can provide, he also has bags of top level coaching experience something Morrison cannot yet boast. He is also a pretty savvy operator off the field and could advise Carter on the rugby side of things, player worth etc, something he admits he knows nothing about. Morrison for me is then the man to take over when the ship is steadied, being one of the best up and coming coaches around and being able to implement pathways from academy to first team and get a backroom staff around him which is fully in tune with modern day techniques. Yes more expensive but maybe just more beneficial as well. Morrison was Kears captain the last time they were here so they have history. But as i said its my ideal scenario, not one i expect to happen.

No one mentioned JD?

You'll never get James Deighton down here unless it's for another Forum night, he's too good a job at Radio Leeds

Can't fault your logic or your reasoning, just questioning the financial implications bearing in mind the clubs finances.

Would love it if JD came back. He has done well with Northern Pride though he now has a coaching role at North Queensland so I doubt he is ready to move. In that case Glen Morrison would do, but will he even apply ?
