Change is a process, not an event...

Sounds like match day operations such as making sure the bar has enough crisps and ice and that the music is on que for Daddycool's appearance

apparently the club needs his 'rugby knowledge' the whole brain cell

to be fair he may know how to catch. An invaluble skill our players need to learn!

Totally agree - since he came to the club he's done a cracking job ( which is why Fozzards appointment is all the more baffling ).

Could not agree more.

Correct me if I'm wrong - the only information I have has been gleaned from here - but James Elston has a 5% shareholding in the club, and is also a member of the Wakefield Community Trust, or whatever it's called, that is handling the proposed Newmarket stadium. I have no idea what a 5% share of the club cost/is worth, but I can't see him being bought out in the near future. The demotion to COO won't necessarily see a decrease in salary either, unless he accepts it, so it's pretty much "as you were" in terms of costs to him. He may not know how to run a rugby league club effectively, but he certainly knows how to look after himself.

5% = minus £60,000

What rugby knowledge is that then.

Having recently read John Kear's autobiography, he mentioned that maybe rather than a coaching role, he said he may be more suited nowadays to more of an advisory role within a club or the RFL, and as we all know, his history of getting the best out of players of a lower standard is second to none.

Am I putting 2 and 2 together, or could a role like this within the club be beneficial to us, especially as we will need to strengthen at some point, but without much financial resource.

Dont know what sort of terms Kear left on but if they were good I would not be surprised at all to see him back with you again next season if Agar goes to france as predicted. Hes the man you want when its backs to the wall.

He got a pretty emotional send-off after the Bradford game. Most fans were grateful for what he did. Some were frustrated by the limitations of his methods, perhaps rightly so, but you can never ignore the background against which a coach has to operate. If you could create some kind of Kear/Agar hybrid, I think you'd be pretty close to as good as you could get, coaching-wise.

dont think Agar is going anywhere...why would he want to leave Fev / Wakey ?

Wasn't suggesting he was. Just playing Dr Frankenstein games with rugby league coaches.
