Well done to the club for making the right decision, it was obviously time for him to go and time for a change in direction but regardless Chester goes with my best wishes. I still think there is a career in rugby league coaching for him should he really want it, and if he is willing to take a step back, he had a very limited time as an assistant and had to learn some very harsh lessons along the way with Hull KR and us but hey that`s the nature of the job.. Good luck Chris and well done to the board for doing the right thing.

It just had to happen. I thank him for his efforts, there was a period around 2018 when we played some damn good stuff and that should be remembered but his time here had run it's course. I wish him all the best for the future.

I find it very sad but it had to happen, I could see no other option.

It needed to happen, if an extension had been announced I dread to think what the attendances would’ve been like.

No need for a knee jerk appointment, let’s hope they take their time and get the right person.

I don’t think I had an issue with him finishing the season, it’s the talk of an extension which had blown people’s mind!

Sad day. I'm not sure whether things just got better or worse. Time will tell and depend who the replacement is.

He coached us to our best seasons in Super League. That shouldn't be forgotten.
But sometimes it's time to move on. I wish him well.

Change was needed. We'll never know what went on in the dressing room. Hopefully we can move on now.

His inability to change and learn from his mistakes as done for him. He needs to clear his head out look at his own performance and he might come out a better coach.

i don’t get that comment how can it get worse we never win anyway, I just hope we now we roll our sleeves up and improve, no relegation so poaching as a chance

Sad for the guy but pleased that he’s gone

Good news, I would have sacked him three years ago after the Hull KR away loss. New coach, new ideas, new enthusiasm, new methods, new attitude. Our players have given 100 % and I sure they will all be very keen to impress the new man.

This.
It's not great for anyone to lose their job but, for the sake of the club, something had to change.

Sad to see him to go but you could see on Sunday things were not right . Hope things work out for him nice guy maybe too nice.Just hope Poaching can motavate the players .He was great at it when he was on the field ,A true legend for Wakefield on the pitch

This is very sad but there was no other option

Chris Is clearly a very nice bloke
Gave us some amazing rugby to watch when he first came in that turned the club around and for that I thank him

This was the best thing for all concerned as this situation could not go on

All the very best too you Chris

For me it’s never nice seeing anyone lose their job, especially with mortgages and families etc. His job though had clearly become unattainable, and the club as a buisness, the book stops with him with poor performances. Many quality coaches through the years have lost their jobs and come back to greater success. I have not posted on here in a while and I think with how wakey have been playing and the standard of RL in general over the last few months I had lost a lot of interest tbf, which if that’s done that to me imagine what it does to fair weather pay on the gate fans. Hopefully we can restore a little bit of pride into the short for the rest of the season and actually plan to get a competitive team on the field for the remainder of the season and especially next season

I just hope that we can all remember that Willie is the interim coach, and that if we don't win the league now we don't destroy him and his undoubted Trinity legacy in the process.
