Couldn't agree more, good luck JK!

Cheers John. Thanks for saving the club from disaster.

Thanks JK. Always be remembered for that Million pound game, and rightly so.

I agree

And I'd go as far as to say that he is one of the most significant appointments we have made since I have been watching. And I go back to the mid 70s

There are milestones in our history such as Wembley days in the 60s and 70s and Wally Lewis arrival etc etc, but possibly less glamorous but equally as significant in our history was the day John Kear came to the club. He steered us away from odds on relegation (from which we would never have recovered imo) and some horrible moments off the field and created a a club and team to be proud of. Through other circumstances that club was dashed for a while but others have luckily picked up the baton.

Good luck for the future John. You'll always be welcome at BV or NM as far as I am concerned.

agree with the senitments of the op. kear should always be welcomed as a returning hero at bv and hopefully before long at nm.

thanks.

Agree with the general sentiment, it gone a bit pear shaped in the last 18 month which was definitely not all JK's fault but that should not over shadow a top 6 appearances, a CCup Semi Final lost on kicks and generally being in the top half of the table for the last 5 seasons - and of course saving us in 2006. Can't think of a Coach in the last 30 years to better that.

Really hope we win tonight as I don't think Kear deserves to end his time at BV as the only coach to finish bottom.

Agree. The new coach has a lot to live up to.

Top six for Wakey is impressive on our (then) resources.

Thanks John

Agree with everyone, amazing start to his wakey career acheiving the near impossible, semi of the cup and our highest ever placed super league finish. Obviously theres been some lows during and after these highs but all in all with his hands tied somewhat he's done a sterling job.

Iv bagged him,asked for his head,but in hindsight it was pure frustration,i doubt if any coach in the super league era has had to work under such conditions,deaths of players,aussie players goin home,administration and these are the public problems we all know about(never mind behind the scenes).I just wonder how far he could have carried us in the cc if we d beat cas.cos since then its been a slow death.So all the best john in whatever you do and i hope its fresh start that works out for all concerned.

Thanks John and good luck in the future. I will never forget the Cas game as long as i live it was a special night. Would also like to say a big thanks to John for something that happened a few years back. I had gone to the away game at Salford and we won easily. After the game i consumed a fair few shandys and missed the coach home. I was chatting with Adam Watene and trying to blag a lift home and to my amazement John overheard my predicament and let me travel home on the team coach which was amazing and made my birthday even better. A true gent!

I feel we have all been a bit over critical with what has happened this year, me included and this is natural as we all as Wakefield fans want to see good entertaining RL, but how many coaches could have done this with the players we had available?

Many thanks John for taking us through thick and thin over the past five years.
Enabled Wakefield to box above their weight.
Cheers

I'll add my name to all of the above sentiments.
Cheers

Gone stale for me and even a bit sour this last year/18 months, but on the whole done us proud.

Great escape was fantastic and deserves limitless praise for that, but its time to move on now and get behind the new man.

The king is dead, long live the king!

Gave me one of my greatest nights as a Wakey fan and helped the club survive through its most difficult period in history, Should be some kind of life member for me. Thanks JK. Just as a side point when JK was announced as coach i was devestated, i thought it was a shocking appointment at the time and he has proven many wrong with some great times over the the last few years. JK I love you man.
