Kear is very, very good at PR, especially for himself. At that Supporters Trust meeting, he could have gone in on the back of 5 100+ defeats and would have won some over with his speech about heart, and doing it for the club. Only problem is, the advert talks about courage and skill, but we're only seeing one of those two vital ingredients.

Which SL club(s) would really come in for Kear? Realistically, I can only see the two pretend teams having any interest. Les Cats must be breathing a massive sigh of relief - there's no way they'd be looking like genuine top 4 material if JK had gone there when the offer was made.

Personally, I hope he goes to Cas next season - it'll be interesting (and amusing) to see how their 'Classy Cas' expectations are met by his 5 drives and a kick mentality. They'll probably beat us once per season though in 'their Cup Final.'

You don't need to be a member of MENSA to work that one out do you?
Bigger club,more money to spend on players,more chance of winning stuff(mickey mouse cup),larger crowds probably and the big one for Powell personally,a larger wage packet.

If we go down to the championship, we have absoloutely no idea what kind of a club we will be, fev may be the safer bet???

I think some of us are being a bit arrogant ... why would Powell leave a job (he seems happy in) to come to Wakefield with our limited resources at the moment and potentially only a job in SL for a few months?

He says he did but who knows.

I did and we were awful, but not sack the coach awful.

I meant if we go down and its not being arrogant but realistic.The club is now being run pretty well and in the Championship we would be one of the bigger clubs and surely would be a better prospect for most coaches plying their trade in the lower divisions.

Shut the door on your way out John....

Fair enough. I don't think it would be enough for Powell to come to us to be fair, Fev are one of the bigger clubs in the NL's anyway.

Bigger budget, bigger crowds, SL for the last 14 years, better squad to work with?

Don't get me wrong I like Fev, but we just have more clout.

Not according to Daryll, he sees Rovers as a club with massive potential. Off field infrastructure bang on and a 'new' SL compliant ground imminent.

From an outsider's perspective I think John Kear has worked miracles at Belle Vue and you should stick with him through the present tough times. Once you are granted your licence, which is a certainty in my opinion, he will have the resources to build and guide your team to much better things. He's a top coach.

Maybe he's right, I just think that Fev will struggle to increase their crowds in the long term simply because they are sandwiched between Wakey and Cas, I mean how many people even live in Featherstone?

Hopefully they prove me wrong, but can't see it sadly.
