If the money is right then why not, he was excellent for Chester and we had some good success whilst he was at the club.

Poching, Cummins, Applegarth, Dickens with some guidance from Kear. A lot of experience there.

I can see both sides to this, it's all probably hypothetical because I doubt we could afford him.
WT fans have a lot to thank JK for, and I think he genuinely likes the club, but I don't thin it will happen.

I don't think it even needs to be official or full-time.

JK is not a poor man and I don't think he needs to work full-time anymore, so working on a consultancy basis would probably suit him.

JK's biggest talent IMO was spotting potential in players who missed the initial surge. Those who are roughly between 20 and 24. He also knows the rogue players you can work with and those to avoid.

I think he could be employed part-time to do all this without really impinging on Poching.

A kind of special players agent just working for us.

Wasn’t John Kear the one who brought Mat Peterson to the club saying at the time he had been chasing Petersons signature for years
Also wasn’t Hickey a Kear recruit

Any body can get one of two signings wrong in fact do not think M Peterson was as bad as a lot of fans made out .Funny how Chester lost is way after J K left . He as done great work for this club including saving from relegation when all seemed lost .This was after N Fox said on the T V after a defeat , the only chance Wakefield have of staying up is to sign J K The rest goes down in Wakefield history. So if N Fox rates him he will do for me. Not bad for a Cas lad

I think we can all agree Hickey is up there with the all time great recruits in RL. Credit JK.

Tbf, we were trying to sign players with milk bottle tops at that time, below the usual bargain basement.

But it’s alright to belittle me for my spelling ?

People are so fickle.
I remember defending Kear and the usual suspects having a go because in their opinion he wanted to go to France and also he only played 5 drives and a kick.
In actual fact he was a great coach, in the most difficult times any club could ever have.
He should go down in history at the club.

But it's Willie's time now. We don't need to panic and change things at the first sign of difficulty. I have a lot if faith in him.
Leave him to do his job.
Not turning Kear down. There are roles he could do really well but Willie is in charge of the team. He doesn't need a mentor or someone above him.

He made more errors than that. Now please tell me who this super coach is who doesn’t. Sorry but what you say makes no sense.

To true PT but we are talking about a completely different role and one that probably doesn’t even exist.

Whatever Kears shortfalls or strengths he certainly could rally the troops when all seemed lost . I know we aren’t in that position yet as some people would have you believe ,but he could certainly tap into the emotion of the occasion better than most and get that across to the players in no uncertain terms as proved in our hour of need

Bit rosed tinted, there were plenty of times when he couldn't tally them, except against Cas and by god do I miss that.

As a coach he had too great strength. He generally knew what players he liked and was able to mostly give them a game plan they could follow.

What he wasn't and never will be is the sort of coach who can revolutionise a club.

So I really don't want him back as a coach, that moment has been and gone. But as part of a coaching team that's fine. It certainly makes more sense than offering Tony Smith a similar role.

There is no doubt. If you want to motivate a team for a big game it's John Kear.
