| It wasn’t a change so much I was after, but an extensive review on who was available and for the best man to be selected for the job, if that just so happened to be John Kear then so be it. Some might say that this would’ve been insulting to Kear but considering he had applied for a number of jobs at other club during his time with Trinity I felt the club would’ve been more than in their moral right to explore this avenue.
Personally I don’t think we got a better option in Agar, however, a team of Kear with Agar as his number two might have gone well. It’s clear to see Agar does know his stuff when he speaks about the game and the way this lot have played, predominantly earlier on in the season, shows that he can get them playing an expansive game, however I don’t think he is someone who can get the best out of his players consistently.

| I got shot down for suggesting we should have kept Kear in the pre season, can't say I'm surprised to see people moaning now though. Sending Andy Ellis out on loan is just madness, I know I'm not a professional coach but I think it's safe to say he shouldn't be playing national league rugby.
Kear built a top side before Brough/Tronc/Newton left the squad, we finished 5th the season before, then it was downhill and Kear had little to no resources on hand. Obviously I'm still fairly bitter about the whole situation, Agar needs to show us something soon.

Do you ever think before you post?
Yes the team last year lacked ability but not passion or not until the last part of the season - that team on occasions ran it's blood to water - that is why we didn't finish bottom. Get a grip.

| I was always a massive Kear fan and would have liked us to have kept him on.
I would have liked to have seen who Kear would have bought with the spending spree we had when Kear went to rebuild the team and how he would have motivated them.
IMO we were always performing better than we should have been with him in charge (motivation?) apart from the sticky tape squad at the end and perhaps we are now seeing how we should be doing.

I find it rather pathetic when you have outbursts like this with someone just because they don't post something that you particularily agree with. You do it quite a lot!

I find it more pathetic that people like you post absurd comments and then play the "it's my opinion" card. You're right it is your opinion, it's crass and wrong in this case so be prepared to have it challenged in the same strong and robust manner it was first posted by you.
So lets confirm - the young kids, has beans and never really were players who managed to avoid the wooden spoon last year whilst in many cases being paid peanuts did this without displaying any passion - if that's you're opinion I'd love an explanation as to how you came to it?

| When we were looking at new Coaches to appoint, do I remember it right that Millward had agreed to come here but nothing was signed and in the end he knocked us back and went to Cas. I'm sure that was the word at the time on here and around the club but I could be wrong.

Surely this means you think at the end of the season there was no passion, therefore agreeing with my post that you so hastily criticised?

Nice sidestep by the way on my previous comment, maybe if Kear could have got our players to do that the games wouldn't have been so boring!

I seem to recall the rumour was that we made him an offer based on what we perceived his value to be and that Cas trumped that offer, so he went there.
As it happens, he's hardly pulling up trees.

So basically you have made a silly comment IMO, I have offered my opinion on your comments as is my right - You seem unable to admit you were wrong, this appears to be my fault because I'm high and mighty
It never fails to amaze me the number of people who post very strong and critical opinions on here - yet feel they should be utterly immune from criticism themselves. You couldn't make it up.

I am suprised Agar or Millward got another shot in SL.
I heard a rumour Agars on more money at Wakey than he got at Hull, but its only a rumour.
