Tbf, we were trying to sign players with milk bottle tops at that time, below the usual bargain basement.

But it’s alright to belittle me for my spelling ?

| People are so fickle.
I remember defending Kear and the usual suspects having a go because in their opinion he wanted to go to France and also he only played 5 drives and a kick.
In actual fact he was a great coach, in the most difficult times any club could ever have.
He should go down in history at the club.
But it's Willie's time now. We don't need to panic and change things at the first sign of difficulty. I have a lot if faith in him.
Leave him to do his job.
Not turning Kear down. There are roles he could do really well but Willie is in charge of the team. He doesn't need a mentor or someone above him.

Also wasn’t Hickey a Kear recruit'"
He made more errors than that. Now please tell me who this super coach is who doesn’t. Sorry but what you say makes no sense.

To true PT but we are talking about a completely different role and one that probably doesn’t even exist.

| Whatever Kears shortfalls or strengths he certainly could rally the troops when all seemed lost . I know we aren’t in that position yet as some people would have you believe ,but he could certainly tap into the emotion of the occasion better than most and get that across to the players in no uncertain terms as proved in our hour of need

Bit rosed tinted, there were plenty of times when he couldn't tally them, except against Cas and by god do I miss that.
As a coach he had too great strength. He generally knew what players he liked and was able to mostly give them a game plan they could follow.
What he wasn't and never will be is the sort of coach who can revolutionise a club.
So I really don't want him back as a coach, that moment has been and gone. But as part of a coaching team that's fine. It certainly makes more sense than offering Tony Smith a similar role.

No rose tinted glasses from me at all , if you read the Keith senior autobiography he clearly mentions Kears limitations and his five drive and a kick philosophy. But where he did score highly was his people and motivational skills . You yourself were condemning all and sundry, like it’s never happened before,and will again no doubt . What I was pointing out was If required by the club to give them a rousing pick me up to get us back on track and firing on all cylinders , he’s available and he’s your man . But personally I like everything about poaching and I’m positive when the players eventually buy into him we will come good , not brilliant but good and start chipping away at the table and not get cast adrift like the doom merchants are all ready spouting about . Yes do do need fresh blood and players moving on , but this squad is good enough to see the season out and keep us in super league

| There is no doubt. If you want to motivate a team for a big game it's John Kear.
