Daryl Powell?!? Good to see the old 'rumour mill' (tombola filled with names of coaches) in full effect at Express HQ.

Paul Sculthorpe has been asked to help chose the next England manager. Pity it wasn't Danny then we could rest easy about JK getting the job www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... olumn.html

Hasn't he already done this, a good few weeks ago, when the poisoned challis came up, John said he still has work to do at Trinity, and wants to lead us into our new stadium. (Erm...., not a quote, but words to that effect).

Or do I live on the planet Zog?

Back on the 22nd January,this was the official club statement on the official site
rlHererl

But,have things changed ?

Nobody on here wants to see JK go. The man has done enough for this club already but if that is what he wants then let him get on with it, he deserves that much. In the meantime all this speculation about it will not do anybody any good, if its going to happen it will, then is the time to start worrying. Fwiw I am in old McBatt's camp Agars got the job.

No - and if I had one piece of advice for anyone - don't ask him!

He, and everyone else, is totally fed up of being asked to comment on something that doesn't exist.

The guy has said that he's happy at Wakefield and that he wants to be here when we open the new stadium. He has not said that he would not be interested in the England job - how can he when he hasn't been approached and he has no knowledge of what the remit / rewards are?

Let the journalists continue to pedal their stories and let John get on with the job in hand, starting with beating Huddersfield this Saturday!

Thanks for that,PHe.
Made nice reading for me.

that's the type of press release we wanted,
I don't think he sees it as a challenge as much as getting us into the new stadium

I'll rest easier when he actually says "no, I will not be taking the job".

He's never going to say that though is he, he would be daft to rule himself out completely without knowing the terms. All he’s done is laughed off the speculation and until the matter is settled that’s all any of us can do.

I just hope the RFL either see sense and open the job up on a part time basis, the international calendar does not warrant a full time coach, or they chose somebody else.

You can see the sense in a full-time coach to some degree, although as shown with Tony Smith most coaches want to be doing the "coaching" part of it all year round. But a full time coach would (in theory) lack biases towards a particular club (perhaps why we should bring over an Aussie), be able to study all teams, players and matches to make sure the best players are in contention for selection, go into club set ups once or twice a season to observe (and maybe assist if it isn't too intrusive?) and it allows club coaches to have minimal disruption to their jobs. For purely selfish reasons, I would not want Kear to leave us for the England job.
