What coaching ability and experience does Kirmond have to bring him in?
Jobs for the boys is exactly the culture I envisage the club are trying to break.

It could also be that everyone was sad and threw him a leaving party.

| Whatever the reason he was obviously keen to leave because he also applied for the Castleford coaching post.

Keen to leave for a head coach job and a DoR, what's wrong with that?

Is that 7/8 years coaching experience at Championship/Academy/reserves/assistant level?
Also the required qualifications etc?
We are talking about the assistant role though here. If Kirmond is qualified and has some experience along with the right attitude and personality to build the culture needed then great let him apply (if we are recruiting).
I was genuinely asking what he has to bring to trinity.

| Club statement here:
'Following the press release from Featherstone Rovers yesterday, Wakefield Trinity can confirm that James Ford has left his position as Assistant First Team Coach.
The club very recently became aware that James had agreed to join Featherstone Rovers for the 2024 season and after considering all the circumstances, we have agreed with James that he should leave with immediate effect. Wakefield Trinity naturally wishes to thank James for the hard work and enthusiasm he has brought to his role and wish him well in the future.
Options within our coaching team are being considered and further announcements will follow as and when any decisions are made.'

Amazing that the club waited 24 hrs to come out with the typical pub bore line of "well we actually broke up with him, he didnt leave us"

| Am I alone in thinking Ford has effectively jumped ship for next season ? When we are in a struggle that he may well have helped to create?
Is it any wonder the club on finding out have said ‘go now!’ Or words to that effect!

Exactly. I think the club was right to do this.
We need to have dedicated people focused on Wakefield Trinity.
