| Quote: The Clan "Well well!
First of all
Thank you John
We were a club heading for relegation when JK came in, struggling to regather ourselves after the debacle of T Smith, he brought something with him and it took immediate effect and we survived.
The following years saw us reach the dizzy heights of 5th in the league, play off football, the emergence of a number of Academy products during an horrific injury hit season, a Challenge Cup Semi final and more play offs.
All this achieved with one hand tied behind his back due to the lowest salary spend in the SL.
John dipped into the lower divisions to find players who's potential seemed lost and others who's careers seemed over, Moore, Wilkes, Fox, Grix, Brough, Golden, all have reason to thank John Kear and Wakefield Trinity.
Through one of the saddest and most tragic periods of the clubs history JK stood out as a strong individual who orated the emotions of everyone involved with this club to the wider world. He did so with a sensitivity and compassion that were perfectly balanced by a professionalism and determination to play and win that honoured and respected the spirit of those past and present players we'd lost.
Even this year he's manfully got on with th the job, built a team and gained some wins. We've wrestled a begrudging respect from many because we wouldn't roll over and John has been central to that attitude.
He's not everyone's cup of tea but for most of his tenure he was the right man in the right place at the right time for Wakefield Trinity.
I don't blame him for looking at other jobs, no doubt he knew what was happening behind the scenes.
Like the saying goes,
"There are only two types of Managers
Those that just got sacked and those that are waiting to be sacked"
I think this is the right move for the club and for John Kear, so good luck John please don't come back to haunt us like you have Hull FC.
Short term I'd like to see us take applications from interested coaches but I think we probably need someone clued up from overseas. We need a new Manager with strong ideas about how to reconfigure our whole set up and the ability to instigate it.
We require someone who genuinely understands the sciences that drive modern day athletes and values those sciences. The new man (or woman
Took the words right out of my mouth Clan,

If he comes to your club he will destroy all the good junior junior development that has gone on their in the last few years..
The man is alright for the quick fix and thats about it. He's junior development record is dire. No good for a club planning for the long term.

That's a strange one seeing as we have a model Academy set up. I assume you mean he doesn't see enough of them through to first team RL. However had you lot had your way your team next year would have contained Murphy, Brough and Ferguson and at a push George and Grix which kind of defeats your argument.
